On Saturday evening, the Los Angeles Clippers continued their impressive recent streak of play with a relatively comfortable home win over the Milwaukee Bucks. James Harden was the story in this one, turning back the clock to the tune of 40 points as Kawhi Leonard continues to try to find his rhythm after recently returning to the lineup.

Saturday marked Harden's third-highest scoring total of the season and was a nice bounce-back after failing to break 20 points in his last two contests.
