It’s difficult to determine the value of moral victories, especially since they don’t show up in the win column. But the LA Clippers earned one Wednesday night, and despite the result, fans should feel good about what this team can accomplish once it’s at full strength.
Once news broke that Kawhi Leonard would be load managing during Wednesday’s meeting between the Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks, fans and analysts alike penciled this one in as a loss for the home team. The thought was that without their best player on the floor, the Clippers would struggle to contain reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
