James Harden accounted for 36 points (9-of-17 FGs, 18-of-20 FTs), seven rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Monday’s win over the Wizards.
Harden didn’t have it from beyond the arc on Monday, as he missed all five of his attempts. However, he shot 75 percent from two and wore a beaten path to the foul line, attempting 20 free throws. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, even more of the offensive responsibilities fall on Harden’s shoulders. And he’s capable of taking over, as he did during Monday’s victory. The Clippers visit the Bulls on Tuesday in the final game of their road trip.
