How The Kawhi Leonard-Less LA Clippers Struggled To Score Against The Minnesota Timberwolves Feb 27, 2026

Show notes

Los Angeles Clippers struggle to generate offense against the Minnesota Timberwolves, falling 94-88 at Intuit Dome. Can the LA Clippers overcome depth concerns when stars like Kawhi Leonard and John Collins are sidelined with injuries? Anthony Edwards shines with 31 points, sealing the Wolves' win with clutch shot-making, while the Clippers lack a 20-point scorer and rely on Derrick Jones Jr.'s 18-point effort.

Die hard LA Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri breaks down the impact of Kawhi Leonard’s absence and the team's inability to convert from beyond the arc, shooting just 5-for-22 from three. With a grueling March schedule looming—18 games in 31 days—he questions the Clippers’ shot creation, rotation choices, and readiness for playoff-style adversity. Are the Clippers prepared to find late-game offense without their stars, or will inconsistent rotations and poor shooting continue to be their Achilles’ heel in the Western Conference race?
