Keeping Harden Off The Line A Vital Focus

Rowan Kavner

PLAYA VISTA, CALIF. – The Clippers know where limiting James Harden begins.

Harden has a penchant for creating contact, scoring more than 20 points in each of the three games he’s shot at least 10 free throws against the Clippers this year, including the playoffs.

But when the Clippers keep Harden off the line, they tend to keep him in check. The Clippers have held Harden to fewer than 10 free throw attempts four times this season, subsequently holding him to 20 points or fewer in three of those four games.
