Harden scored 17 points in 31 minutes, but will have to wait for his first win at Los Angeles
RJ Barrett, who returned to the New York Knicks after missing two games with a left knee injury, scored 11 points in the final quarter to lead his team to a 111-97 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
James Harden’s debut for his new team didn’t go according to plan and The Beard will have to wait for his first win with his new team.
Barrett finished with 26 points, while Julius Randle had a season-high 27 and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Knicks. Michael Robinson had a double-double (13 points, 15 rebounds) for the team from New York. Kawhi Leonard scored 18 points and Harden finished with 17 in 31 minutes on the court for the Clippers.
