Harden records 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists and Paul scores a team-high 22 as the Clippers wake up in the fourth quarter for a 112-102 home victory
The Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard, left, and Norman Powell acknowledge each other in the first half Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Crypto.com Arena. LOS ANGELES — It was an inauspicious start to a foreboding week. The Clippers trailed by as many as 11 points to the Chicago Bulls less than four minutes into Saturday’s matinee game.
“And then we had a couple opportunities, but we turned the basketball over whether it was illegal screens or we gave them a couple, we call ’em touchdown layups, you know what I mean – to where they’re just getting out and nobody’s contesting it. The Clippers are in the middle of early back-to-back games and a stretch of five games in seven nights that ends next week in New Orleans. Among those opponents are the Western Conference-leading Timberwolves and Bucks, who are second in the Eastern Conference. There are no games the Clippers can afford to lose.
Moments later, the Clippers took their first lead, 72-71, on a 3-pointer by Harden and extended it to five before the Bulls got back into the game with a 14-7 run. From there, it was a back-and-forth affair cheered on by Russell Westbrook, the Clippers point guard who is expected to be out at least a month after having surgery this week on his fractured left hand.
