In the NBA, a full-fledged performance always makes the fans' blood boil. No, the Thunder's duo showed their prowess in a recent matchup, beating the Clippers 134-115, with Alexander and Holmgren combining for 54 points, which was undoubtedly a powerful blow to their opponents.
Harden of the Thunder team is also in good shape in this game, although his score did not exceed 30 points, but the data of 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists is also very comprehensive. One of Harden's statements is that he expects the Clippers to regain their winning streak. As one of the best in competitive sports, he clearly enjoys going against strong opponents.
Leonard missed this game against the Thunder due to injury, but it was actually more of a rotational break. Even so, the two stars, George and Westbrook, still put on a great game. George scored 22 points, while Westbrook had 15 points and 13 rebounds, stats that show how hard they worked on the court.
Harden has a deep view of the game, saying that the loss is a good opportunity for the team to adjust their defense. There is no doubt that adversity often pushes a team to grow and find new tactics and ways to work as a team.
The Clippers' nine-game winning streak ended at the hands of the Thunder, and it was a bitter moment for them indeed. But in a high-intensity league like the NBA, any team is bound to have its ups and downs. The Clippers' next game will be against the Celtics, and it will be a good opportunity for them to show off the results of their adjustments.
The Thunder are currently in second place in the West, a result that speaks volumes about their quality and the stellar season they have had. The team has a lot of talent, which is a big threat to any opponent. Harden's statement is undoubtedly a warning to the other 29 teams, a young and promising team that is steadily rising and aiming not only for the playoffs, but also for the championship.
