LA Clippers Struggle to Find Rhythm Amid Four-Game Losing Streak

Recent acquisition James Harden yet to lift team's performance; Stars Leonard and George negatively affected by trade

The LA Clippers are struggling to find their rhythm after a four-game losing streak, despite the recent acquisition of James Harden, who was expected to elevate the team's performance.
The team's main stars, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, have been negatively affected by the trade, with George shooting only 27.9% from the field in games with Harden.
The Clippers' head coach, Tyronn Lue, is dealing with an extended losing streak for the third time this year, partly due to the adjustment of a new piece in his backcourt.
Despite Harden's individual performance, with a shooting percentage of 54.2% from the field, the Clippers have not won a game since his debut.
The team's bench has been in an even worse rhythm than the stars, with the Clippers getting outscored by 26 points in Powell's 8.5 second-quarter minutes in the game against the Dallas Mavericks.
