Harden Hits 25,000-Point Milestone as Clippers Extend Win Streak to Six

Despite George's absence, Clippers hold off Warriors' late surge in 121-113 victory

James Harden scored his 25,000th career point, becoming the 24th player in NBA history to reach this milestone, and led the Los Angeles Clippers to their sixth straight victory with a 121-113 win over the Golden State Warriors.
Despite Paul George's absence due to a hip injury, the Clippers managed to hold off the Warriors' late surge, with notable contributions from Kawhi Leonard, who scored 27 points, and Norman Powell, who added 21 points.
Klay Thompson scored a season-high 30 points for the Warriors, but it wasn't enough to prevent the team's third consecutive loss on their road trip.
Golden State was without Draymond Green, who is indefinitely suspended after hitting Phoenix's Jusuf Nurkic in the face during a recent game.
The Clippers' win streak is their longest of the season, and they have won 11 of their last 14 games.
