George scored 26 points in the first half to seize the lead for the Clippers; in the second half of the game, the Eastern European combination set off round after round of counterattacks, seeing that the Clippers were about to overturn, Harden stepped forward, scored 15 points in the final quarter, and refused to reverse with one after another breakthrough throws, and changed his life against the sky! After the whole game, George and Harden both scored 33 points, and at the same time, Harden also set a god-level record.
