The Los Angeles Clippers took down the Golden State Warriors 121-113 on Tuesday night, thanks in large part to the stellar performance of James Harden. The former MVP had a game-high 37 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds in the victory. His performance was even more impressive considering he reached a major milestone during the game, becoming just the 30th player in NBA history to reach 25,000 career points.
Harden was on fire all night, shooting 14-of-25 from the field and 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. He also made all five of his free throw attempts. He was able to get to the rim at will, and his ability to draw fouls and get to the line was a major factor in the Clippers’ victory.
The Warriors, on the other hand, were unable to keep up with the Clippers’ offensive attack. They shot just 41.2% from the field and 32.4% from three-point range. Stephen Curry led the way with 25 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Clippers’ balanced attack.
Harden’s performance was a reminder of why he is one of the best players in the league. His ability to score in a variety of ways and create for his teammates makes him a tough matchup for any team. His milestone of 25,000 career points is a testament to his longevity and consistency in the league.
The Clippers will look to keep their momentum going as they face off against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night. With Harden leading the way, they will be a tough out for any team they face.
