Clippers Defeat Magic, Extend Winning Streak

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Orlando Magic 104-93, extending their winning streak to six games at their new arena despite missing key players like Kawhi Leonard and Norman Powell. James Harden contributed significantly with 24 points and was instrumental in free throws, while Ivica Zubac and Amir Coffey also made notable contributions with Zubac recording a double-double. Earlier in the week, the Clippers secured a close 102-99 victory over the Golden State Warriors, marking their fifth consecutive win against the Warriors. The Warriors struggled with turnovers and free-throw accuracy, which were major factors in their loss. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 26 points but missed crucial shots in the closing seconds of the game. Despite these losses, the Warriors praised the vibrant atmosphere at the Clippers' new venue, although it did not excuse their performance issues.
