The Clippers beat the Heat 119-104 in a back-to-back NBA regular-season game. In this game, Clippers star Harden was outstanding, single-handedly leading the team to victory. He played 38 minutes and 31 seconds, contributing 24 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals overall statistics, plus/minus a high of +15.
After the game, Bogdan accepted an interview with reporters, praising Harden’s performance. He mentioned that Harden leads by example and sets an example for the team. Despite landing in the wee hours of the morning, Harden was still fully prepared and ready for the game. Bogdan believes Harden is an amazing competitor whose presence brings out the best in him. At the same time, Bogdan also scored a season-high 30 points, for the team’s victory, made a great contribution.
Harden, for his part, lavished praise on his teammates. He singled out Bogdan’s aggressiveness and attacking brilliance as crucial for the team. At the same time, Harden also praised Zubac’s outstanding performance this season. Zubac, he believes, has put in a great deal of effort and has a deep understanding of the game. Now, Zubac is very effective on both ends of the floor and has become an important pillar of the team.
In the past five games, Harden has averaged 31 points, 5.6 rebounds, 10.2 assists and one steal per game, carrying the flag of the team. Zubac has averaged 20.3 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the All-Star break, shooting 65.7 percent from the field. Their outstanding performance, for the Clippers’ victory, laid a solid foundation.
This is a big win for the Clippers. They showed strong team cohesion and fighting ability, laying confidence for the following games. I believe that with the joint efforts of Harden and his teammates, the Clippers will continue to create more glory in the NBA arena.
