The Clippers defeated the Mavericks on a strong nine-game winning streak, a victory that not only showcased the team's new chemistry, but also continued their recent stellar performance. Even without George's help, Jr., Harden and Westbrook showed unparalleled synergy, with all seven players scoring in double digits to help the team win. It is particularly worth mentioning that this victory is even more special, because the two sides have accumulated some "new and old hatreds" before.
When Harden first joined the Clippers, the team played against the Mavericks, but suffered a heavy defeat. At the time, Irving commented on the Clippers' Big Four after the game, saying he was glad to see that they hadn't found a good fit yet, and that if they did, it would create a crazy winning streak. Now, it seems that Irving's words have become the best commentary on the Clippers' nine-game winning streak. In addition, there is another feud between the Clippers and the Mavericks.
When Harden joined the Clippers and didn't perform well, the Mavericks' commentator made a mocking remark that he was no longer a "beard" and not the core of the team, just a problem.
It is worth mentioning that the Clippers had a poor record during that time, but since the sarcasm of the commentator, the Clippers have ushered in an astonishing performance of 14-5 and directly surpassed the Mavericks in today's game, and Harden has also achieved perfect revenge with practical actions. This victory is really exciting.
