One-sided! The Clippers were blown away by 19 points in a single quarter: Harden was restricted on 1 of 7, and the Titans left the game with a serious injury.

On November 17, the NBA regular season continued, and the Clippers challenged the Celtics away from home. Leonard continued to be absent, and the Clippers were in poor condition, while the Celtics were blossoming inside and outside. Pritchard hit three-pointers one after another, taking the initiative early on the court, and once led by 16 points. The Clippers came off the bench and hit 8-0 to close the score; in the second quarter, the Clippers continued to chase points, but then fell into a slump again, and the Celtics pulled away again, leading the Clippers 63-49 at halftime.

In this game, the Clippers continue their previous starting lineup, Harden, Dunn, Jones Jr., Collins and Zubac. The Celtics took the lead in entering the state. Brown hit a step-back jumper and took a 9-2 lead. The Clippers played for 4 minutes and relied on Harden to hit a three-pointer to break the drought. Then they made two free throws. The Celtics opened up from the outside. Pritchard hit three-pointers one after another, directly opening the point difference to double digits. Zubac scored inside to stop the bleeding, Brown broke through and scored 2+1, taking a 27-11 lead. Jones Jr. hit a three-pointer to stop the bleeding, Lopez also scored a three-pointer, and the Celtics were able to respond. However, in the final stage, Sanders stole the ball and counterattacked 2+1, and Miller also scored a three-pointer. After the first quarter, the score was 30-37.

In the second quarter, White came up and hit a three-pointer, Lopez made a kill, and Batum hit a three-pointer, further approaching the score. But then the Clippers' offense failed to continue, and Harden made consecutive mistakes. Walsh counterattacked and dunked to widen the point difference to 10 points. Brown hit consecutive jump shots, Zubac tipped in to stop the bleeding, but White also made a jump shot. The Celtics regained their touch. Brown counterattacked and scored 2+1, launching a 16-4 offensive, widening the point difference to 18 points. Jones Jr. hit a jumper to stop the bleeding, but then he was knocked down by Brown and injured and left the field. The Clippers trailed 49-63 at halftime.

The Clippers' offense was sluggish in the first half, especially in the second quarter. They only scored 19 points in a single quarter, and 6 of 19 from beyond the three-point line in the half. No one on the team scored in double figures. Harden, who was on a rampage in the last game, was double-teamed this time, and only scored 5 points on 1 of 7 in the half. The Clippers also lost a major player, and Jones Jr. may be out for a while due to injury.

The Celtics were more prosperous. Brown scored 16 points, White had 15 points and 7 rebounds, and Pritchard had 14 points.
