Clippers fan ‘Wall’ baffles KD, but Suns prevail

Ohm Youngmisuk covered the LA Clippers’ first game at the Intuit Dome, where Kevin Durant struggled with “The Wall,” a section of fans behind the basket. Despite the distraction, Durant still scored 25 points, including a game-tying shot in regulation. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer wanted a unique fan experience at the $2 billion arena, with The Wall and a high-tech scoreboard being standout features. Despite James Harden’s strong performance, the Suns ultimately won in overtime. Both Durant and Devin Booker praised the atmosphere created by The Wall, showcasing the tough road environment it creates for opponents. Harden expressed disappointment at not getting the win for the fans on opening night.
