In a recent NBA match, the Los Angeles Clippers broke their six-game losing streak by defeating the Houston Rockets 106-100. James Harden played a crucial role, sealing the win with a three-pointer in the last four seconds. Harden scored 24 points, while teammates Paul George and Kawhi Leonard contributed 23 and 26 points, respectively. The Clippers’ impressive performance turned the tide in their favor.

The LA Clippers finally had a taste of win after a six-game losing streak and this victory also counts as their first one in the month of November. As the game was an upside to the Clippers so far, this also ended a six-game winning streak for the Houston Rockets, making their in-season tournament record a 1-1. However, the Clippers’ win may have upset the former MVP Russell Westbrook who recently hit headlines to come off the bench for the team to win.
