The Clippers challenged the Bucks to complete a fairly hellish period of their five game calendar in seven days and James Harden shone with 40 points to bring the victory to his own.
Against Milwaukee, the Clippers had trouble starting their match with a 2/11 shooting before starting the machine, but before talking about it, let’s make a little detour to the Wall of Intuits Dome.
Clippers fans had fun deploying signs corresponding to each second placed by Giannis on the free throw line.

Now that this small moment of fun has passed, place in the game, with a very nice match between Bucks and Clippers.
This first quarter is marked by the duel which will animate this meeting: Giannis antetokounmpo vs James Harden. The two players go blow for blow, but it was Kevin Porter Jr who has the last word with a spin Move who delighted all the attentive pupils.

The two teams contain themselves after 12 minutes and this Mano-a-Mano continues in the second quarter. The Bucks have only one point ahead of half-time.
Now place in the third quarter or otherwise says the heat check by James Harden. At first, Kawhi stands out.
The KLAW continues slowly, but surely to start.

The Fun Guy ends up putting his buttocks on the bench and it was at this precise moment that James Harden decides to set fire. The bearded man plants 17 points on this third quarter alone, but it is not enough to contain the deer, the fault of an absolutely untenable giannis which will end the meeting at 36 points and 13 rebounds.
For the last act, change of strategy on the Clippers side. The sailboats tighten the screws of their defense and spend a 14-0 to start the fourth quarter, minutes when the Greek Freak was on the bench and the Angelinos took advantage of it.
JAMES HARDEN FROM DISTANCE!
Gives him 35 PTS and the Clippers a 14-0 run ????

The gap is made and despite the return of the superstar from Athens, the Bucks fail to return.
Final score: 127-117 in favor of the Angelinos behind a James Harden XXL at 40 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists.
