Clippers Harden scored a layup, assisted Wei Shao for a violent dunk, assisted George to hit a three-point shot, and finally scored consecutive points on his own, Harden scored 15 points alone in the final quarter, and simply dominated the game, and finally the Mavericks reversed and failed. The Clippers narrowly defeated the Mavericks 116-111 and will return to the Clippers' home court for a match-point game in the next game.
The Clippers Big Four
Summary: Harden was really strong and shot 12-of-17 from the field, scoring 33 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, especially the 15 points in the final quarter. This game proved that Harden can still play a tough battle, but if the small card injury is not good, it is not only bad for his health, but also has a negative impact on the team. Irving was really strong, and in the end, Irving's pull-up layup thought it was going to end the game, but fortunately there was Harden. In the next battle of Tianwang Mountain, I am more optimistic about the Clippers.
