James Harden delivered a strong performance with 25 points, six rebounds, and six assists in the Clippers’ loss to the Thunder. Despite his early dominance with 22 first-half points, Harden and the team struggled to maintain momentum in the second half, ultimately falling short. The absence of Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal appeared to weigh on the team, but both players are expected to return for the upcoming matchup against the Suns on Thursday.
