The stats prove that James Harden was ineffective in Game 5 for the Clippers

In Game 4 vs. the Nuggets, the Clippers were stunned at the buzzer. Nikola Jokic attempted a shot to win the game. It went long, and Aaron Gordon caught the ball and dunked it just before time expired. 

That tied the series 2-2 as the Nuggets were back home for Game 5 on Tuesday night. LA lost the game 131-115 and are down 3-2 in the series, heading back home for Game 6. ESPN’s Romona Shelbourne had a puzzling stat about Harden’s Game 5 performance. Last night, the Clippers averaged 0.72 points per play on the 35 plays Harden was involved in. Those were both his lowest outputs of this series.
