Clippers Defeat Grizzlies 128-108, Extend Winning Streak

The Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to five games with a 128-108 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, showcasing a strong offensive performance led by James Harden's 30 points and Kawhi Leonard's 23 points. The Clippers surged in the third quarter, outscoring the Grizzlies 36-16, despite being without head coach Tyronn Lue due to back discomfort. The Grizzlies struggled without star Ja Morant, who missed his fourth consecutive game, and fell to 0-3 on their current road trip. Jaren Jackson Jr. contributed 23 points for Memphis, but the team's overall performance was hindered by injuries and a lack of scoring depth. The Clippers are now solidifying their playoff position, demonstrating resilience and depth even in the absence of their head coach. This win keeps Los Angeles tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the seventh spot in the Western Conference while Memphis remains in fifth place.
