Despite blowing a 14-point lead, the Clippers put Lue’s words into action and overcame James Harden and Norman Powell missing key free throws down the stretch in a 105-103 victory at the Intuit Dome that extended their winning streak to four games.

Harden had 24 points but missed a free throw with 28.7 seconds left, forcing the Clippers to cling to a two-point lead.

Ivica Zubac grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Harden, who threw the ball the length of the court as time expired.

The trio stole the show, with Harden rushing for 125 yards in 20 carries, Jones contributing 38 and Berger adding 30 yards.

Demonizing them will only harden their views.
