LA Clippers at Philadelphia 76ers
· National Basketball AssociationJames Harden scores 23 points to lead Clippers to rout over his old 76ers team, 125-99
The 76ers fell to 3-13, an improbable record for a team that opened the season as a strong betting favorite to win the Eastern Conference. The Sixers played again without injured All-Stars Joel Embiid and Paul George, both out with knee injuries.
Harden was booed every time he touched the ball by Sixers fans who have not forgotten how he left the team in a lurch when he demanded a trade ahead of the 2023 season.
The Clippers shot around 60% from the floor for most of the game and helped empty the arena early of Sixers fans with plenty of time to catch the Eagles' kickoff later that night.
Jared McCain scored 18 points and Tyrese Maxey had 17 for the Sixers.
76ers: The 76ers remain stuck at the bottom of the NBA standings and resemble a team more made for the draft lottery than a playoff run when Embiid and George are out of the lineup.
The decimated Sixers scored the opening bucket before the Clippers went ahead on Harden's 3 that sparked them to a quick 21-9 lead. Harden relished the spotlight against his old team and hit a pair of 3-pointers and scored 12 points in the first quarter.
The Sixers hope a couple more days of rest can get Embiid and George in the lineup Wednesday against Houston.
