The Clippers rally in fourth quarter with James Harden on the bench, but rally falls short as coach Tyronn Lue looks for ways to make new roster fit.
Winless for nearly two weeks and trailing by 11 points entering the fourth quarter Sunday against Memphis, the comeback the Clippers desperately needed finally found traction. And it happened in a way no one would have predicted — with James Harden, who was making his home debut as a Clipper, on the bench for nearly the entire fourth quarter.
Their 105-101 loss to the Grizzlies, who entered on one of the NBA’s worst starts at 1-8, leaves the Clippers 3-6 and losers of their last five games while still trying to figure out who they are in this new Harden era. The road to their first win since Oct. 31 does not get any easier, with their next game in Denver, where the Clippers have not won since December 2020.
