Title: "Harden scored 15 points with an injury, and the small card helped the Clippers Heat celebrate the New Year, with 13 consecutive wins hitting a record high!"
At the beginning of the new year of the NBA in 2023, the Los Angeles Clippers ushered in a hearty victory, defeating the Miami Heat 121-104 and sweeping their opponents at the same time, setting a feat of 13 consecutive wins in team history. And behind this victory, there is the strong comeback of Xiaoka and the tenacious struggle of Harden.
At the beginning of the game, the comeback Xiaoka may still be welcoming the rhythm of the game, and the state is slightly quiet. However, Harden has contributed a lot of firepower to the team with his usual tough breakouts and accurate three-pointers. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers trailed by 12 points, which was a bit nerve-wracking. However, this did not discourage the team, and in the second quarter, Harden's organization and the explosion of small cards allowed the Clippers to successfully overtake with a net 13-point lead in a single quarter.
In the course of the game, the defensive cooperation of Xiaoka and George complemented each other, while Harden still insisted on being on the court after the broken foot, proving the title of "Court Warrior" with his performance. In the second half, the Clippers continued to be efficient on the offensive end, and the performance of Xiaoka's continuous dunk and chasing three-point was even more memorable.
In the final quarter, Xiaoka's continuous outstanding performance led the Clippers to a 16-point lead, and the Heat conceded defeat in advance. Harden celebrated passionately off the court, cheering on the team's 13-game winning streak.
In this game, Xiaoka not only reached the milestone of 13,000 points, but also successfully led the team to win the Heat for 3,928 consecutive days, setting an impressive record. And Harden's persistence and performance behind the foot are even more moving. In the first game of the new year, the Clippers gave fans a spectacular victory, adding a strong touch to the start of the new year. We look forward to the Clippers continuing to write their own chapter in the next games!
