James Harden had 17 points and 6 assists in his Clippers debut. The Clippers eventually lost to the Knicks 97-111.
The Knicks are at home against the Clippers. Harden provided an assist at the beginning and hit an extreme mid-range hit in the second quarter, scoring the first point of his Clippers career. In the second half, Clippers center Mason Plumlee was injured, and the Knicks seized the opportunity to attack the paint. The Clippers scored 21 points in the final quarter, and the Knicks finally won 111-97, ending their two-game losing streak.
The four giants of the Clippers started together and scored in double figures, scoring 62 points! Harden started the game for 31 minutes, making 6 of 9 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 17 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, with a plus-minus of minus-18. Kawhi Leonard had 18 points and 5 rebounds, Russell Westbrook had 17 points and 4 rebounds, and Paul George had 10 points and 7 rebounds. It seems that the Clippers’ Big Four score evenly, but have not yet produced a chemical reaction. When the ball was handed over to Harden and Westbrook, George and Leonard had much less role to play, and they didn’t play smoothly. In the fourth quarter, the score widened and they gave up early.
Harden talked about the potential of partnering with the Big Three: “The possibilities are endless. We played well in the first three quarters, and then we couldn’t find a rhythm on offense and missed a lot of good shooting opportunities.”
After the game, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said that Harden’s addition will take about 10 games and he will have better arrangements for the lineup.
Julius Randle had 27 points and 10 rebounds, and RJ Barrett had 26 points and 5 rebounds. They led the Knicks to use the fourth quarter offensive to establish the victory.
