James Harden has something hard to say. On Wednesday night, the LA Clippers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers to end their two-game losing streak. The Clippers defeated Portland to start things off in the proper way as they looked to turn things around after a bad run of play after the All-Star break.
James Harden, a standout for the Clippers, stated the following during the post-game broadcast:
“This was a swag game for us. Get our rhythm back, get our swag, and find our identity again.”
Harden believes that the Clippers should sort of get right for this game against the Blazers because he knows that they have lost a lot of what made them great earlier in the season.
Even though Portland is among the poorest basketball teams, the Clippers still won, and they’ll want to repeat that performance on Friday when they play again. In 36 minutes of action, Harden finished with 19 points and 14 assists, demonstrating his strong play in this match. Harden hasn’t been himself since the break and has been a part of LA’s difficulties; yet, he recovered in this game.
In a first-round game that appears increasingly inevitable, the Clippers are attempting to fend off the fifth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans in an attempt to secure home court advantage, even though they have very little chance of rising higher in the Western Conference rankings.
