November 1st, NBA Western Conference NBA Cup, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Pelicans 126-124.

Commentator Lian Rui updated the social media and wrote: "Leonard beat the Pelicans, and Jones dribbled past the frontcourt at the end of the game. The score was tied at 124. My first reaction was that the Pelicans committed a foul. Firstly, Jones did not make a free throw tonight, and secondly, the Pelicans still had a timeout to be more aggressive and take the initiative for the ball.

Of course, all of this It’s just hindsight that Leonard took away the victory, and Phils took away my disrespect. And Poole + Zion? Wait, maybe... it’s a bit of a mess? "
