Losing by 37 points! The biggest upset in the NBA! The offseason championship is overturned.

3:13am, 24 October 2025【Basketball】

October 23, NBA regular season: The Jazz defeated the Clippers 129-108 at home. Score in the fourth quarter (Jazz in front): 43-19, 35-28, 30-33, 21-28. The Jazz led by up to 37 points, and the entire second half was garbage time. Last season, the Jazz were last in the Western Conference with 17 wins and 65 losses, and they defeated the Clippers in the opening game of this season.

During this offseason, the Clippers made crazy reinforcements: trading Powell for Collins, and signing Paul, Lopez and Bill, aiming to compete for the championship. Unexpectedly, the ship capsized in the first scene. With Collins joining, the Clippers finally have the No. 4 position. But today Tyronn Lue asked Collins to come on the bench and Kawhi Kawhi to start at the 4th position.

Let’s take a look at the performance of several Clippers new players: Collins played 27 minutes and 51 seconds off the bench, making 6 of 12 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 14 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, and 2 turnovers, with a plus-minus of 0; Bill started for 20 minutes, shot 2 of 5, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and only scored 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus of -9.

Paul played 14 minutes and 58 seconds off the bench, making 1 of 5 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 4 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of -6. Lopez played 17 minutes as a substitute, making 5 of 12 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, 15 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, with a plus-minus of -6. The performance of the two cores: Kawhi Kawhi and Harden is also hard to describe.

Leonard started for 29 minutes, making 3 of 9 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. His plus-minus value was -25, the lowest in the game. Harden also started for 29 minutes, shooting 5 of 12, 2 of 9 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists, with the second-lowest plus-minus of -21 in the game.

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said after the game: "We played like shit, and I am responsible for losing!" NBA reporter Keith Smith tweeted during halftime to comment: "You lied to me once, shame on you; lied to me seven times, I'm stupid! I predicted the Clippers would be ranked third in the Western Conference before, but now I'm a complete fool!"
