On March 4, the Los Angeles Clippers played away against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the shooting percentages of both teams were quite miserable, and it also turned into a low-score scorched earth battle. Clippers star bearded Harden shot 0 of 10 in the whole game, but he still sent as many as 10 assists in a single game, becoming the first person in the league, on the other hand, although Timberwolves brother Edwards scored 27 points in the whole game, but only scored 2 points in the fourth quarter of the critical period of chasing points, almost no achievements, the Clippers trailed by up to 16 points, and finally defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in a thrilling 89:88 reversal and closed the second consecutive victory.
The Clippers only scored 18 points in the first quarter, and the Timberwolves were full of firepower from the start, taking a double-digit lead in the first quarter, but the second quarter was replaced by the Timberwolves playing iron, which was very different from the performance in the first quarter, and was returned by the Clippers 31-16, not only wasted the double-digit lead, but was also reversed by the Clippers at 49:46 at the end of the first half, and the two sides still played iron frequently in the second half, and the Timberwolves relied on Edwards' free throws and Walker's empty dunk at the end of the third quarter to lead by 1 point at the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the two teams still played weakly, Leonard and George stepped forward to score and lead the Clippers forward, but Harden missed several outside shots, which also made the Clippers unable to pull the score away, but in the end, Leonard had to make two key fouls and free throws, stretching the difference to 3 points, and the Timberwolves gave Edwards the last 13 seconds of the offensive opportunity, he received an assist and scored a dunk, but he did not foul, and the Clippers narrowly won by 1 point in the end.
Harden shot 0-of-10 from the field today, scoring four points from the free-throw line, along with 10 assists and grabbing five rebounds. According to the statistics of the American media "STATMUSE", Harden is the first player in NBA history to miss more than 10 shots in a single game, but can pass at least 10 assists, writing a unique embarrassing record.
After the game, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue supported Harden, Harden is such a player, he is a great player, he knows that when the offense can't open the game, he can influence the game in other ways, he handed out 10 assists, and he also had five rebounds, and I think his defense is very good, especially when Leonard is not on the court, he takes the initiative to defend Towns.
In addition, Tyronn Lue bluntly said that the team's ability to beat the first in the Western Conference on the road with Harden shooting 0-of-10 and George shooting 5-of-16 is of great significance to the team and shows the ability of the Clippers.
It is worth mentioning that Harden has played for the Clippers this season, and he has provided at least 10 assists in a single game 19 times, and the Clippers have a 17-2 record in these 19 games, with a winning rate of 895%。
