James Harden is grateful to his incredible Raclippers teammates for his team’s great run recently.
“The Beard” led the LA Clippers’ path with 30 points and nine assists in a 128-108 victory against the Memphis Grizzlies.
James Harden led the scorers, but Kawi Leonard and Ivica Zubak picked up where they left off against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Without Coach Ty Lu, who is on the way from the team due to injuries, the entire Clippers team was on display, earning fifth consecutive victory.
However, there was one player who particularly impressed Harden, and he was also crucial to the team’s performance against the Grizzlies.
Bogdanovic was off the bench in a match against Grizzlies and added 16 points in a 6-9 shooting from the field.
He shot 4-5 from 3-point range and was great in the 26th minute against the Grizzlies.
Speaking about Bogdanovic in a postgame interview, Harden said: “Incredible basketball player, even better guy.
“He gets it, he realizes it, and he’s tailored to what we’re trying to do.
“He’s a cool guy to hang out. He listens. I curse him sometimes, he doesn’t take it under his skin.
“He listens, he gets out there and he gets better. It’s a sign of someone who wants to win and I’m happy he’s on our team.”
Harden averages 22.6 ppg and 8.7 pg this season in the Clippers’ epic form.
With Leonard taking up the majority of the season, Harden stepped up and led the Clippers to compete for the playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Harden has recently repeated the year with a 50-point performance against the Detroit Pistons, but he’s only picked up and leads the team well.
His brilliance helps him build an All-Star team, and it doesn’t seem like the 35-year-old will stop just by entering the playoffs.
The Clippers have great players on the roster and can surprise some teams with their performances.
Leading by Harden and Leonard, they have what they need to do a deep playoff run, but if the duo can stay healthy, it becomes everything.
