James Harden’s recent 50-point explosion for the Los Angeles Clippers should be a moment of celebration. It was his first 50-point game since 2019 and his 24th overall.

With former President Barack Obama watching from courtside seats, Harden makes six 3-pointers as the Clippers avoid another fourth-quarter collapse in a 123-115 win that snaps their three-game

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue encouraged his team to "stay the course" amid their struggles. Harden responded with a dominant game, shooting 14-of-24 from the field, 6-of-13 from three, and 16-of-20 from the free-throw line.
