LA Times  

When the Clippers completed their long-rumored trade for James Harden, coach Tyronn Lue said his team would need 10 games with Harden in their lineup to figure things out. “It’s a frustrating loss but you know it’s one of those games where the guys get the opportunities, they played extremely well, and I thought in the absence the guys stepped up over there,” said Paul George, who hit only two of 13 shots and finished with six points. “But a lot of this stuff, we could have prevented, I thought we didn’t have the energy there, It wasn’t well enough to compete.” Clippers ‘Constant communication’ is helping James Harden find his role with Clippers The former MVP has become the Clippers’ primary ballhandler and, after losing the first five games with him in the lineup, the team has won two in a row. But it’s an adjustment.” Harden and the Clippers won’t have the luxury of time to make those adjustments, with a schedule that sends them to Sacramento and Golden State for back-to-back games Wednesday and Thursday.
