Harden didn't stick around to talk to the media after the game as his streaks of bad performances in the playoffs continued.

The Los Angeles Clippers still believe in a team led by the tandem of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Following the Clippers first-round series loss to the Denver Nuggets, Clippers president Lawrence Frank expressed that "I definitely believe in those two," about Harden and Leonard as the team's leaders on a potential championship team.
