James Harden, player of the Los Angeles Clippers, spoke to the media after a great performance and his team’s win in the first game of the NBA Western Conference quarterfinals.
James Harden was the most effective player on his team in the win over the Dallas Mavericks with 28 points, and he added 8 assists, reminiscent of his best playing days.
“I can score with the best of them, you know what I mean? I still can score with the best of them. My role for this team is just generating really good shots and making guys’ jobs easier. And then when my number to score is called, then you score the basketball. Obviously, Kawhi is out, so my playmaking and my volume is going to go up a little bit more and took advantage of it.”
The Los Angeles Clippers lead 1-0 in the series, and the next game will be played on Wednesday at 4 AM.
