The Clippers led by as many as 29 points, but with Leonard still unavailable because of a right knee injury, the game was never entirely out of reach.
The victory highlighted the importance of Luka Doncic's off-day and the Clippers' need for Kawhi Leonard's presence as a closer on the team.
Coach Tyronn Lue emphasized the uncertainty surrounding Leonard's return, noting they are taking it 'day by day', underlining the challenge the Clippers currently face without their star.
The Clippers' current objective is to maintain stability and perform well until Leonard can return, relying on players like James Harden and Paul George to step up in his absence.
