Biggest Game of the Clippers Season & An Anaheim Ducks Update

Syndicated Content — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Host Grant Mona breaks down a sobering night at the Intuit Dome where the Clippers' defensive identity went missing against the West's best. Then, Zach Cavanagh joins the show to discuss an Anaheim Ducks team that is suddenly reeling as they head toward the finish line of the 2026 season.

Segment One: Thunder Strike the Dome | Clippers Fall to 41–39 The Los Angeles Clippers couldn't find an answer for the high-flying Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, falling 128–110 in front of a frustrated home crowd.

The Chet Holmgren Show: Grant reacts to Chet Holmgren’s dominant 30-point, 14-rebound performance. Holmgren outworked the Clippers' frontcourt, leading a Thunder squad that has now joined the ranks of the 1996 Bulls and 2016 Warriors with their historic 64th win.
Kawhi’s Lonely Night: Kawhi Leonard finished with a team-high 20 points, but Grant analyzes why the offense felt stagnant. With the Thunder shooting nearly 50% from the field, the Clippers' defense was "like a sieve," giving up 65 points in the first half alone.
The "Toddler" Philosophy: Grant revisits Ty Lue’s recent fiery comments. While Lue insists he’d play "toddlers" if it meant winning, the reality is that the Clippers are now 41–39 and teetering on the edge of a dangerous Play-In matchup.

Segment Two: Ducks in the Danger Zone with Zach Cavanagh Zach Cavanagh takes over the mic to break down a troubling stretch for the Anaheim Ducks (41–32–5), who are currently mired in a six-game losing streak.

The Gauthier Gap: Zach provides an injury update on star rookie Cutter Gauthier. After missing the last three games with an upper-body injury, Gauthier remains unavailable for tonight’s matchup against San Jose. Zach explains how his 38-goal absence has completely derailed the power play.
Defensive Leaks: Zach analyzes the recent "pillow fight" for playoff positioning. Despite ranking 3rd in the Pacific, the Ducks' goal differential has plummeted to -19. Zach discusses whether Lukas Dostal (29 wins) is being left out to dry by a young defensive core that has struggled with turnovers.
Looking Ahead: With only four games left in the regular season, Zach looks at the "must-win" nature of tonight’s Freeway-adjacent clash with the Sharks at the Honda Center.
