Entering Wednesday night losing their last three games, the Los Angeles Clippers looked to put an end to their losing ways when they faced the Chicago Bulls. With Chicago coming off a dominant victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, it didn't look like it'd be easy for the Clippers to pull off the win.

After a strong third-quarter performance, the Clippers were able to squeeze out a 122-117 win over the Bulls. Despite strong performances from Zach Collins and Josh Giddey, the Clippers had six players scoring in double-figures. Leading the way for the team was guard James Harden, who had himself a night in the Windy City.

What wasn't shown on the box score was his dagger three to make it 120-114, with both Lonzo Ball and Collins guarding him. Even though fans at times criticize Harden's clutch gene, especially in the playoffs, he reminded fans what he's still capable of Wednesday night.
