The Los Angeles Clippers will travel to Orlando to take on the Magic tonight. The Clippers are coming off a loss to the Chicago Bulls. Click here to read the recap.
Tonight’s game marks the start of a 7 game road trip for the Clippers. Clippers head coach Doc Rivers told reporters that he was concerned with the offense:
“I thought we all tried to do it individually, and that’s the old way we played, where there’s no ball movement, ball’s in one spot. I think it’s very hard to win a game against a good defensive team that way. That proved out tonight.”
Last game Jamal Crawford scored 24 points off the bench, and Blake Griffin added 19 points and 10 rebounds.
The two teams are heading completely different ways. While the Clippers have been struggling of late, the Magic have gotten hot since starting the season out 0-4. They have won 5 out of their last 8 games, and their three-point shooting has been one of the keys in their recent improvement.
With the Magic shooting a league best almost 42% from behind the arc, the Clippers will need to try to run the Magic’s shooters off the line. The Magic are coming off of their best shooting performance of the year. They hit 13 bombs in their win against the Detroit Pistons.
Nikola Vucevic told ESPN.com this about the Magic’s recent play:
“That’s the way we’ve got to play,” said Vucevic, who matched a career high with 30 points and 21 rebounds in the Clippers’ last visit to Orlando. “We shared the ball, we moved it well and we were aggressive all the way around. No one cares who is scoring on this team, as long as we are making the right plays.”
J.J. Redick will return to Orlando for the third time since being traded. He will look to earn his first win as an opponent in Amway arena.
