In fact, the Warriors were leading by 70-48 with 11:45 left in the third quarter but were outscored 65-42 in the remainder of the match.

James Harden, who scored 21 points and added nine assists, was delighted after the team’s nail-biting win and said they want to be consistent.

“Wow, 22,” he said when told of the second-half deficit. “… We don’t want to keep going up and down. We want to be consistent.

“I told [George] and [Leonard] before the game, ‘Let’s catch our rhythm. Let’s be good, like we’re going to be later in the season. Let’s start it now.'”

Paul George top-scored with 25 points for the Clippers and played a key role in the team’s win. Kawhi Leonard was also glad with the confidence booster win.

“It’s big,” Leonard said of the victory. “We’ve been trying to be consistent. We are getting better, but very slow. … You know, how things been going, it feels great to pull out a win.”
