The Clippers have lost 7 of their last 8 games , arriving in Philadelphia as a team desperately searching for stability amid a tumultuous stretch. Los Angeles leans heavily on post-up opportunities, ranking first in that category offensively, but struggles mightily on the defensive glass and offensive tempo, sitting at 25th and 30th respectively. With Kawhi Leonard dealing with foot injuries and Bradley Beal out for the season, the Clippers' offense has been on life support , forcing the team to rely on James Harden's All-Star-level performances to keep the ship afloat.
