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’s allowed to have a bad game. They tried to get up and pressure a little bit, which we didn’t handle like we had in the first four games. “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
