James Harden and the Clippers finally managed to get off their six-game losing streak, five of which have come on the heels of Harden's arrival in Los Angeles. However, the LA native showed Clippers fans exactly why he was brought to the team as he came up with a clutch 4-point play to close out the upstart Houston Rockets.
Harden finished the game with a near triple-double of 24 pts, 7 ast, and 9 rebs. Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers in scoring with 26 in addition to Paul George chipping in 23 pts and 8 rebs. The Clippers are continuing to establish chemistry with Harden on board. Just ahead of Friday's matchup against the Rockets, Russell Westbrook opted to move to the bench in order to help foster more chemistry among the starting unit.
