Having connected on countless lobs as teammates with the OKC Thunder and Houston Rockets, James Harden and Russell Westbrook have reignited that chemistry with the LA Clippers. The duo has connected on multiple alley-oops since Harden was traded to LA from the Philadelphia 76ers, and connected for another viral play vs. the Toronto Raptors on Friday night:

While it took some time for the Clippers to figure out how to play with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook, they seem to have found a great system that has all four players playing great basketball. There was an additional adjustment period when it came to all four of those players thriving on the court at the same time, but even that has been a success over the last several games.

The Clippers are rolling right now, having won 20 of their last 24 games. Owning the best record in basketball since December 1st, the Clippers have completely turned around what was a poor start to the James Harden era. While it did not look pretty at first, the Clippers have figured out how to play with one another, and look like the most dominant team in basketball.

While there are still ways the Clippers can improve, they are putting together one of the best stretches of play in franchise history.
