Basketball

On November 24, the NBA regular season Clippers were beaten back to back by the Cavaliers on the road. Harden scored 55 points and then completely failed. He made 5 of 16 shots, 0 of 8 three-pointers and scored 19 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. He gave up 3 minutes early in the final quarter.

The Clippers trailed by 3 points 24-27 in the first quarter. Harden made a 2+1 mid-range jumper at the start, assisted Kaka for an easy layup, and scored in the counterattack. He assisted Collins and Dunn with the ball and made a hard layup. However, Harden's outside touch was cold and he missed all 5 three-pointers he tried in the first quarter. After the first quarter, he made 3 of 9 shots and 0 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 10 points and 3 assists.

The Clippers were lagging behind in the second quarter, and after falling behind by 11 points, they fought back to chase points. At halftime, the Clippers were 52-59 behind by 7 points. Harden only took one shot in this quarter, and despite being surrounded, he still went to the penalty area and scored the ball. In the first half, Harden scored 12 points and 4 assists on 4-of-10 shots, and the three-pointer was still not open.

Change sides and fight again. In the third quarter, the Clippers lost another 6 points 27-33. Harden's condition was still very bad. He scored 7 points and 2 assists on 1 of 6 shots in a single quarter. After three quarters, the Clippers had fallen behind to 13 points. It is worth mentioning that Zubac scored 10 points and 7 rebounds on 5 of 5 in a single quarter, and he was dominant in the paint.

After the Clippers fell behind by 18 points in the final quarter, Kawhi and Zubac continued to lead the team to resist. With 5 minutes and 32 seconds left in the game, the Clippers fell behind by 14 points. Harden returned to the court, and the Clippers continued to resist, but were helplessly trailing by double digits; with 3 minutes and 32 seconds left in the game, the Clippers withdrew their main force and gave in early.

Yesterday, Harden made 17 of 26 shots, 10 of 16 three-pointers, and scored 55 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists. In back-to-back games today, Harden refused to take a break and gave up early due to poor condition. The plus-minus on the court was -15; the Clippers have lost 10 of the last 12 games, and their record is still very bad.
