James Harden scored just seven points during the Clippers' critical Game 5 playoff loss to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday, an unacceptable tally.
James Harden produced one of his trademark playoff performances on Wednesday night. Actually, that’s not true. This was worse. In the Clippers’ 123-93 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of their first-round series, the longtime postseason underachiever delivered a Harden Special for the ages, making only two of 12 shots and scoring seven points. Seven. You read that right. Seven. Seven, as in the number of days in a week.
Harden scored 33 points in a Game 4 victory that leveled the series. Stories were published about how Harden could alter his playoff legacy. Who said the media is negative? To be fair to Harden, he wasn’t the only Clipper who stunk. Playoff P resurfaced, as Paul George scored 15 points on just four-of-13 shooting. Russell Westbrook registered six points on two-of-11 shooting, including 0-for-3 from three. How bad were the Clippers? Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and P.J.
