James Harden and Russell Westbrook put on a vintage performance Sunday to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 125-114 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
The Clippers struggled through the first three quarters as stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George had slow games. Los Angeles needed a late rally, and they got just that, completing an 18-point comeback and going on a 22-0 run to close out the game.
Harden, against his former team, had 24 points, 10 assists and five rebounds while Westbrook had 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists.
After the game, fans had high praise for Harden, Westbrook and the improbable comback.
The Clippers have had a good start to the season, sitting in fourth place in the Western Conference at 27-14, and Sunday's game was a great sign that Los Angeles can manage some adversity and still win games. Up next, the Clippers will take on the Los Angeles Lakers in a matchup where they'll look to continue proving themselves.
