In the previous NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Charlotte Hornets at home 131-116. After this game, the Clippers' record, which ended their three-game losing streak, improved to 5-11, and their ranking rose to 11th in the Western Conference; while the Hornets' record, which suffered a five-game losing streak, has dropped to 4-12, continuing to rank 12th in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, the Clippers' starting backcourt guard Kris Dunn still maintained his due level. Dunn played 27 minutes and 24 seconds, made 3 of 5 shots, and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 1 foul, with a plus-minus of +8. Although Dunn's scoring ability is limited on the offensive end and he did not score many points, his performance in passing and organizing offense is still quite good, and it also has a good effect, helping James Harden relieve the pressure. The most important thing is that Dunn still has a very good effect on the defensive end. His defensive contribution is very outstanding. He has super personal defensive ability. His defensive aggressiveness is quite amazing. He also has an excellent defensive attitude and enthusiasm. He is simply being covered all over the court without any effort. Dunn's personal abilities may be relatively limited, but his attitude and enthusiasm also made a big contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Dunn played a total of 74 times in 82 games, averaging 24.1 minutes per game. He averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game. He also had 1 turnover and 2.7 fouls. He shot 43.9% from the field, 33.5% from the three-point range, and 68.2% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Dunn played a total of 7 times, averaging 21.9 minutes per game. He averaged 6.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also had 0.1 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 38.6% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range. Since the start of this season, Dunn has averaged 25.7 minutes per game in the first 16 games, averaging 6.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also has 1.3 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage is 47.8%, three-point shooting percentage is 35.3%, and free throw shooting percentage is 72.2%.

Dunn's overall performance so far this season is quite good. Although his offensive statistics are mediocre, he has still maintained a good offensive efficiency. Originally, Dunn had no scoring ability, so of course it would be difficult for him to be effective in this regard. Dunn can occasionally play a role in passing and organizing, and his performance on the defensive end has always been quite stable. As a player with a low salary, Dunn has completed his task well. From the perspective of the Clippers, sometimes there are really big problems with the team's tactical system. Sometimes Dunn has to take on more tasks, which indeed makes him seem a little struggling on the court.
