19 points defeat! The Clippers players scores were released after the game. Who should take the blame for the team s exit?

When the final whistle rang on the Denver Plateau, the Los Angeles Clippers lost the tiebreak with a huge gap of 101-120, and missed the second round with a total score of 3-4. In this game full of regrets and unwillingness, each player's performance was repeatedly examined in the spotlight, and the post-match rating is not only a footnote to personal performance, but also reflects the deep reasons for the team's failure.

As the team's offense and defense core, Leonard scored a game-high 22 points and 5 rebounds. His efficient scoring performance in the first quarter once gave the Clippers hope. However, as the Nuggets' targeted defensive intensity increased, he only scored 8 points in the second half and failed to continue his offensive firepower at a critical moment. Although the data is impressive, the team is a little weak when they need him the most. The 75-point score is not only a recognition of his ability, but also a regret for his performance in key battles.

Inside pillar Zubac scored 10 points and 14 rebounds, becoming the only advantage of the Clippers in rebounding competition. He actively fought against Jokic and worked hard to support the penalty area on the defensive end, but facing the overall offensive wave of the Nuggets, his personal efforts were difficult to reverse the situation. The 70-point score was an affirmation of his conscientious performance.

Harden's performance has caused fans to be disappointed and helpless. He scored only 7 points on 2 of 8 shots. Although he sent 13 assists to set a new tiebreak record, in key games, the sluggish offensive end greatly affected the team's rhythm. He made many low-level mistakes, and he had no power to fight back against Westbrook's defense. Behind the 60-point score is the heavy weight of the core players failing to shoulder the responsibilities in the life-and-death battle.

Powell scored 9 points on 4 of 11 shots, Batum performed mediocrely, Derek Jones quickly fell silent after a brief highlight in the first quarter, and their scores were less than 60 points. These role players failed to stand up at critical moments and became the "dumb point" of the team's offense. The Clippers scored only 20 points on the bench, which is a huge contrast with the Nuggets' substitute 41 points, completely exposing the team's lack of lineup depth.

This failure is a collective microcosm of the individual performance of Clippers players. From the misperforming performance of core players, to the mediocrity of role players, to the powerlessness of the substitute lineup, the problems in each link are infinitely magnified in the game. They may leave the arena with unwillingness, but the cruel scores and ratings have shown that if you want to go further in the playoffs, what the Clippers need to reflect on is not only the gains and losses of a game, but also the competitiveness and resilience of the entire team. The road ahead is full of challenges, and whether this team can revive is worthy of everyone's attention.
