The Clippers bounced back from an ugly season-opening loss, defeating the Phoenix Suns 129-102 in their home opener at the Intuit Dome.
James Harden led the team with 30 points, while Kawhi Leonard added 27 points. A defensive-minded bench group also played a crucial role in the win.
The Clippers had previously struggled against a similar opponent, the Utah Jazz, trailing by as much as 37 points in their season opener. However, they learned from their mistakes and found their footing against the Suns.
The Clippers were not going to make that mistake again.
The team's home opener win marked a significant turnaround from their lackluster performance just two nights earlier.
