The Clippers showed unmatched strength in this game.
While many thought they would lose against a strong Pacers, they shattered that assumption with a stunning performance. The Clippers not only managed to fend off the Pacers, who are the league's No. 1 offensive firepower, but also won 151-127 to extend their winning streak to eight games.
The Clippers showed great quality in the early stages of the game. The two sides had a fierce exchange in the first quarter, and the game was inextricably linked.
However, as the game progressed, the Clippers gradually widened the gap with the Pacers and became the dominant player throughout the game.
Whether it's Jr., Paul George, or Harden, they're all in their prime.
This spaceship-like team is simply terrifying. The highlights of the game were dire-eyed, and the most exciting moments came in the final quarters.
Harden's once pent-up emotions were released in this game. He seemed to have rediscovered his Rocket-era self, scoring 21 points in the final quarter of the game, successfully igniting the excitement of the audience.
Among them, he made six three-pointers in a row, making people feel his old happiness. Their fans were boiling, and Harden fell to the floor celebrating his score.
At the same time, the Clippers' bench was also frantically cheering for Harden's performance, and they showed support and recognition for their teammates like crazy. And one of the most classic scenes is Harden's stunner when he singled Hield.
He faced the opposition's defense, threw a step-back three-pointer, and drew a foul on the opposition. The scene was reminiscent of his classic performance, with Harden lying on the floor cheering as the referee's whistle blew, like a happy child.
Wei Shao was also the most excited one of the games, as his efforts paid off when he did Harden's signature "salting" celebration on the sidelines.
This scene shows the enviable fairy friendship between Harden and Westbrook.
The result of this game shows how strong the Clippers are. They have won 12 of their last 15 matches.
They rank among the best in the Western Conference in terms of shooting percentage, offensive efficiency, and points per game. However, they also know that winning streaks doesn't mean they're guaranteed a title.
They have to keep working hard and play on the chemistry between the Big Four to keep going without injuries in the team. Their goal is to win the title, and that goal may be close to them.
The Clippers proved themselves with their mettle and prowess.
