Harden's 82nd Triple-Double Propels Clippers Past Mavericks in Thrilling 2OT Victory

In a game that showcased the highest level of excitement and skill, the Los Angeles Clippers emerged victorious against the Dallas Mavericks, thanks to James Harden's remarkable 82nd career triple-double.

Trailing by seven points with just over five minutes remaining in regulation, Los Angeles mounted a stunning rally to force overtime.

A pivotal three-pointer by Luke Kennard sent the game into its second overtime frame, where the Clippers would ultimately prevail. The win marked the team's sixth consecutive victory at home and improved their record to 14-5.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers praised Harden's all-around effort, saying, James was incredible tonight. He made big plays down the stretch and set the tone for our comeback.
