On October 6, NBA preseason games continued, with the Clippers facing off against the Warriors in Hawaii. The two teams were locked in a tight contest, and in the final moments, the Warriors’ Waters hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer with 1.6 seconds left to seal the game, leading to the Clippers’ regrettable 90-91 loss and missing out on a winning start to the preseason.
In this game, Leonard and Wiggins were absent, and the main players only played in the first half. However, within this limited time, Harden seized the opportunity and demonstrated his hot form. Previously, in an interview, Harden revealed that his physical condition for the new season is excellent. Judging from his performance in the first preseason game, he was indeed right.
Harden played for 17 minutes, shooting 2-of-6, making all 8 free throws, and recording 13 points and 8 assists. If his teammates had been more accurate from beyond the arc, he could have easily achieved a double-double. Right from the start, Harden successfully connected multiple times with Zubac, forcing the Warriors to adjust their defensive strategy. However, Harden then launched into personal attacks, drawing a three-point foul and completing a 3+1 play, scoring 7 consecutive points to take the initiative. In this half of the game, Harden showcased excellent competitive form.
