The Clippers continue to struggle since trading for James Harden as the Dallas Mavericks surge in the second quarter of a 144-126 blowout win.
The Clippers arrived for their morning shootaround Friday expecting to see an all-gray court designed especially for the NBA ’s In-Season Tournament awaiting. Instead, it was the Dallas Mavericks ’ regular hardwood design, the result of what the league called a “manufacturing issue.” When the Clippers left American Airlines Center late Friday, it was clear they, too, remain very much a work in progress — exciting in theory but faulty, so far, in application.
Harden did not score after the opening quarter. Kawhi Leonard scored a team-high 26. The starters were taken out with one minute remaining in the third quarter. Crisp and efficient for much of the first quarter, the Clippers saw the bottom fall out in a second quarter in which Dallas shot 64% and scored 47 points. Paul George went scoreless in the first half for the first time in 197 regular-season games with the Clippers, and didn’t play at all the final 7:49 before halftime.
