Justin Russo: Final: LAC 121, WAS 96. James Harden had 43. He sat the fourth. Clippers are 2-1 on their four-game road trip and 12-8 overall on the season. The Wizards—well, they’re not good. They fall to 2-14. Clippers end their trip on Friday in Minnesota. A win would nicely cap the trip.

Ivica Zubac, like Harden, says Clippers have multiple areas of improvement to focus on despite reaching quarter pole at 12-8
“We can improve with our spacing, offensively. We can run more. We can be better in defensive transition. It’s little things, but those things add up.” pic.x.com/7HprYGomJS – 11:12 PM

James Harden offers a Norman Powell update while praising him for looking good offensively and saying that “I’ll kind of hold the fort down” until Powell can return “either Friday or one of these days when we get back home” from hamstring injury (h/t @davidaldridgedc) pic.x.com/NWOWJtmyZM – 10:47 PM

James Harden has not played in this fourth quarter
He still has a 43-40 lead on the Washington starting five with 8:47 left to play
Terance Mann scored through a Kyshawn George foul, and his FT will come on other side of timeout with Clippers up 100-71. – 9:01 PM

Clippers in double figures
James Harden (43 points)
Ivica Zubac (18 points, 16 rebounds)
… and Jordan Miller (11 points in 9 minutes)
7-0 Clippers run to start the 4th, which probably cancels Harden for the night
95-69 Clippers lead with 10:51 left – 8:55 PM

End of 3 in Washington:
Clippers lead 88-69, and Washington played last night, so Harden might be done with 43 points
But we’ll see… – 8:52 PM

No fresh buckets for Harden just yet and Alex Sarr continues to shoot the 3 well after last night’s showing
But Kris Dunn gets another steal, which leads to Amir Coffey’s 10th dunk of the season (Amir had only 7 dunks last year in nearly 1K fewer minutes)
69-54 Clippers lead – 8:28 PM

More on this storyline
Law Murray: James Harden on Boston tonight: “They got shooters… obviously defending champs. We’re coming off a b2b. They’re a great team. Didn’t really have time to game plan. They hit us in the mouth, and it was one of those games… had an OK start. And then 2Q, they kind of blitzed us.” -via Bluesky / November 26, 2024
Gary Washburn: #Celtics coast to a 126-94 win over the #Clippers in one of their more impressive performances of the season. Pritchard 20, Tatum 20, White 19, Brown 17, Porzingis 16, Queta 12, 9 rebs and 4 blk; Zubac 23, Harden 19, Jones Jr. 11, Mann 10, Miller 10. -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / November 26, 2024
“We’re coming around, and we’re understanding who we are,” Harden said after compiling game highs of 23 points and eight assists in his second game in Philadelphia since last year’s trade. “Understanding that in order for us to have a chance at anything, we know we have to do it every single night. And that’s the most exciting part. And then, one thing about this team, we’re all happy for each other. Literally, it can be anybody’s night, on any given night. Nobody’s going to be upset; everybody’s going to be happy for each other. And things aren’t always going to be perfect to win games. But even when we lose, we’re still happy for each other. Good things will happen most of the time.” -via New York Times / November 25, 2024
