The Los Angeles Clippers lost their first road game of the season, marred by 24 turnovers and a dismal 69% free throw shooting, compared to the Oklahoma City Thunder's impressive 96%. James Harden, despite his near triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists, struggled with shooting and turnovers. Terance Mann's hesitance on offense and Norman Powell's explosive 29-point second half are key talking points. Ivica Zubac's effective post play, especially in the second half, offers a glimmer of hope for the Clippers' strategy versus small ball going forward.

In this episode, die hard LA Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri talks about what two things cost the Clippers the game. He also discusses James Harden's recent performance and the increasing frustration with Terance Mann's lack of aggression.

The Clippers nearly let this slip away on the 2nd night of a back to back. They lead by as many as 14 but the Raptors fought back to tie it in the final minute. Some free throws and a clutch rebound from Norm Powell would seal it. James Harden was off from the floor going 5 of 17 with just 2 3's but finished with a game high 24 as he was 12-13 from the line Norm Powell also had a bit of an off night going 7-14 but matched Harden's 24.
