The Los Angeles Clippers return home for a Thursday night encounter with the Suns after an impressive two-game road trip, which included wins against Golden State and Denver.
Surprisingly, the Los Angeles defense has carried them despite being without Kawhi Leonard and having a historically poor defensive player — James Harden — in the starting lineup.
The Clippers have the third-best defensive rating through the first three games of the 2024-25 regular season.
They also rank among the top five NBA defenses in paint points and second-chance points allowed.
