James Harden reacts to Clippers loss against Celtics
James Harden finished Monday’s game with a near triple-double consisting of 19 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists in 30 minutes of play. Ivica Zubac added 23 points and 10 rebounds for a Clippers team that was throrrled by insane three-point shooting.
“They got shooters.” Harden said. “It’s obviously the defending champs,”We’re coming off a back-to-back. They’re a great team, we didn’t really have time to game-plan. They hit us in the mouth and it was one of those games.
“We weren’t getting stops. We still had opportunities, but we didn’t get stops. We had an okay start, and then in the second quarter, they kind of blitzed us.”
The Celtics led 27-20 after one quarter of play in which the Clippers competed admirably.
