Recently, the fourth focus game of the first round series of the NBA playoffs started on April 23 local time. In this game, the injury-plagued Clippers faced a strong counterattack by the Mavericks led by star forward Paul George.
In key moments, James Harden, the star guard of the Clippers, stepped up and scored multiple winning goals to eventually beat his opponent 116-111 to stretch the series to 3-1.
The game was reversed several times and was full of thrilling drama. Soon after the opening period, George took the lead and the Mavericks took a double-digit lead.
In the face of disadvantage, Harden once again exerted his power, hitting three points in succession, and once chased the score closer. The Clippers then took the lead in the second quarter thanks to teamwork, while George also fell into a slump due to poor hands.
At halftime, the Clippers already had a 13-point lead. After changing sides, the Clippers continued to exert their strength, and at one point extended their lead to 31 points. The Lone Ranger didn't give up easily.

Just when the Clippers were on the verge of collapse, Harden stepped up again. In the final moments, he hit two consecutive game-winning three-pointers to help the Clippers stabilize their position and beat the Mavericks by five points in the final game.
In this game, Harden scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in a quasi-triple-double, which was the key contributor to the Clippers' comeback. In the course of the game, Harden continued to deal heavy blows to the Mavericks with accurate three-point shots, regaining the initiative for the Clippers.
Especially in the final moments, it was Harden's key point shot that helped turn the Clippers around. As the game fell into a stalemate, Harden calmly handled the ball and scored six consecutive points at critical moments to successfully stop the bleeding and keep the victory.
Harden's consistent performance once again showed his excellent leadership ability and steady mentality. In the absence of star teammate Kawhi Leonard, Harden stepped up time and time again to show the demeanor of a true leader.
On the Mavericks' side, despite the loss, Doncic's performance is still bright. He had a triple-double of 45 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, and was the pillar of the Mavericks' comeback.
Especially in the fourth quarter, it was Doncic who hit three points in quick succession to lead his teammates to launch a counterattack, which once made the game a reversal.
Although it was ultimately unsuccessful, Doncic's efforts were not in vain, and his performance fully demonstrated the skill and hard work of a new generation of superstars.
At the same time, Irving also contributed a quasi-triple-double of 40 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in this game. The performances of both men proved that despite the setbacks, the Mavericks remain confident in the series.
Although the Clippers took a 3-1 lead in the series, they should not be taken lightly. The Mavericks have proven that they have the ability to fight back, and with the twin engines of Doncic and Irving, they still have the potential to come back from defeat to victory.
And if the Clippers are to harvest the series, they also need Harden to play a consistent output and prevent the hand from slipping away again.
As the series enters a stalemate, the future matchups are bound to be even more intense. Let's wait and see if the two teams can stage another shocking comeback.
