LA on a Roll as Kawhi Leonard and James Harden Makes Clippers History
In a tight playoff race, the Clippers are trying to make up after going on 3 three-game losing streaks.
With a 3-game winning streak, the Clippers are doing their part to get to a top-6 playoff position and avoid being the play-in position.
The Clippers have been playing better as a team on offense, and the defense is now coming together in clutch situations as the team heads toward the finish line of the season.

In the last game against the Kings, Kawhi Leonard hit a game-winning shot in overtime against Sacramento, giving the Clippers a 111-110 win. Kawhi had 17 points against Sacramento. Harden has been playing so well the last couple of games.
In Sunday’s game, he had 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists. Zubac also contributed 22 points and 14 points to the team.
As the NBA playoffs are fast approaching, the LA Clippers need their stars to step up and lead the team to make a run for the playoffs.
Another part of the Clippers’ three-game winning streak is the impact of the team’s chemistry lately, which has been so valuable for the Clippers. Harden, who had 27 points, and Kawhi, who had 20 points, contributed to Friday’s win against the Knicks. The LA Clippers won 105-95.
Last week, Clippers stars Kawhi and James Harden put up historic performances, which is valuable as the team needs their star duo to help lead the team toward the playoffs. James Harden had his first 50-point game as a member of the Clippers since leaving the Rockets. His 50-point game came on from the win at home against the Pistons.
Harden’s 24th 50-point game moves him closer to Kobe Bryant, who is no.3 on the all-time 50-point game with 26.
Kawhi Leonard also made history last week for the Clippers. In Friday’s win against the Knicks, Kawhi passed his former Clipper teammate Paul George 11th on the Clippers’ all-time scoring list!
