Clippers go into half tied at 52-52 despite surrendering 10 offensive rebounds and 12 second-half points in first quarter alone. But they cleaned it up in second quarter, held Luka and Kyrie to combined 6-for-21 shooting. Harden is 2-for-8 but had huge steal and layup late. – 11:02 PM

Crazy. Every angle seemed pretty clear that Jones didn’t touch Harden. Ball don’t lie, I guess, evidenced that Harden missed the first free-throw. – 10:47 PM

Replay shows touch on Harden’s elbow, but hard to envision that as a foul given some of the hard hits that have gone unwhistled. But it was. And two shots for Harden. – 10:47 PM

It took until the 7:25 mark of the 2nd quarter, but Kyrie Irving has finally scored after Harden overpenetrated and turned the ball over, leading to a fast break.
Tyronn Lue stops the game immediately with Dallas leading 42-32.

Luka Doncic just picked up his second foul after he made contact with Harden. I think he’s more frustrated because he felt Harden fouled him on the other end. – 10:14 PM

Paul George is the Sixers’ top target this offseason, per @WindhorstESPN.
The Clippers have been unwilling to offer George a max contract, which Philadelphia appears prepared to do.
Philadelphia will have close to $60 million in cap space. pic.twitter.com/NDO7MTlX1T – 5:50 PM

James Harden on not feeling pressure, it how Clippers need to not be as disorganized offensively as they were in Game 5 and how Harden has seen all kinds of defenses and how he has to adjust to them.

As Windy said, 76ers’ priority appears to be simply signing Paul George into cap space if Clippers continue to refuse to offer George a max extension. He said to watch Heat with 76ers as next possibility. But Heat has philosophically opposed trading its best players for future… – 9:52 AM

Without Leonard, the Clippers had their worst night offensively in the series. James Harden, who had been superb and averaged 30.5 points in the previous two Clippers wins without Leonard, shot just 2-for-12, including 1-for-7 from the 3-point line. He finished with 7 points, 7 assists and 4 turnovers. “Being human,” Lue said when asked what led to Harden’s tough night. “He’s allowed to have a bad game. We didn’t shoot the ball well. They tried to get up and pressure a little bit, which we didn’t handle like we had in the first four games. He played bad. It’s possible. He didn’t play well. “So I got to do a better job getting him in better situations and then being ready for Game 6, which I know he’ll be better.” -via ESPN / May 2, 2024
