Follow Us
James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers may not have had the best of outings against the Celtics tonight. Losing by 37 points after holding a 9-game win streak (that was ended by Thunder last game) is not something the Clippers would have imagined in their wildest dreams. However, here they stand, dropping 2 back-to-back games and heading home with a lot to reflect on. However, two Real Madrid stars may have brightened a rather disappointing night for the Clippers.
Paul George and James Harden looked like a shadow of themselves, with some underwhelming outings in the past 2 games. However, while the Clippers duo lamented their poor performance, Real Madrid stars, Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Jr. made their dreams come true. This excited fans too, who wasted no time in showing it.
