James Harden's 40 Points Propel Clippers to Victory Over Bucks

The Clippers snapped Milwaukee's five-game win streak with a decisive fourth-quarter surge led by Harden and Powell.

James Harden scored 40 points, including 17 in the third quarter, to lead the Clippers to a 127-117 win over the Bucks.
Norman Powell contributed 33 points, while Kawhi Leonard added 18 in limited minutes as part of his ongoing recovery from knee soreness.
Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 36 points and 13 rebounds, and Damian Lillard notched a triple-double with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists for Milwaukee.
The Clippers used a 14-0 fourth-quarter run to turn a narrow deficit into a commanding lead, aided by strong defensive adjustments and sharp free-throw shooting (28-for-28).
The victory capped a five-game, seven-day stretch for the Clippers, who finished the week 3-2 and improved their record to 26-17.
