Ivica Zubac finished with 18 points and 20 rebounds, Norman Powell and Kawhi Leonard each added 21 points, and the Los Angeles Clippers delivered one of their best defensive performances of the season en route to a 96-87 road win at Orlando on Monday.

The Orlando Magic and LA Clippers – the NBA's second and third-ranked defenses – fought to a low-scoring 96-87 loss on Monday night in a game that represented a playoff atmosphere.

The Clippers are currently 17-21 on the road with a point differential of 4, while the Magic have a 3-7 record in their last ten games at home. The Clippers won the only meeting against the Magic, 104-93 on November 20 in Los Angeles.

This is a matchup between two of the league’s best defenses, but the Clippers sport the top-rated offense across the last 10 games. Kawhi Leonard and James Harden have the team firing on all cylinders, and Norm Powell’s 34-point eruption last night may be the catalyst needed to get him back on track following a brief slump.
