· National Basketball AssociationHarden's big 3rd quarter helps Clippers rally past Heat 109-98
The Clippers were playing their first game in five days after their scheduled game on Saturday was postponed because of deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area. White towels with LA Strong and the state of California in blue were given out.
Norman Powell led the Clippers with 29 points. Ivica Zubac had 21 points and a season-high 20 rebounds for his 25th double-double. Harden added 11 assists.
Tyler Herro had 32 points and 11 rebounds to lead Miami, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. Kel'el Ware added 19 points and a career-best 13 rebounds off the bench.
Clippers: Kawhi Leonard finished with six points on 3-of-9 shooting and five rebounds in 21 minutes during his third game of the season. He didn't play in the fourth quarter. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard's minutes will continue to be restricted as he works to regain his rhythm after returning from injury.
