James Harden and Russell Westbrook of the Los Angeles Clippers gave back to OKC and Houston.
James Harden and Russell Westbrook, who were colleagues with the OKC Thunder and Houston Rockets, have rekindled their relationship with the LA Clippers after connecting on many lobs. Since Harden was moved from the Philadelphia 76ers to Los Angeles, the two have connected on several alley-oops. On Friday night, they made another viral play against the Toronto Raptors:

Although it required some time for the Clippers to adjust to playing alongside Paul George, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Kawhi Leonard, they appear to have discovered an excellent system that allows all four players to play excellent basketball.
When it came to all four of those players being productive on the court at the same time, there was an extra period of adjustment, but even that has worked well over the past few games.
Currently, the Clippers are on a run, having triumphed in 20 of their previous 24 games. The Clippers, who have the best record in basketball since December 1st, have totally turned around their dismal beginning to the James Harden era. The Clippers have learned how to play together, despite their initial unattractive appearance. They now appear to be the most dominant basketball team.
The Clippers are having one of their best runs of play in team history, but there is still room for improvement.
