James Harden motivates his defense against Leonard: “This way we have something to laugh about”

James Harden and his no-nonsense defense against Kawhi Leonard: this is how the Los Angeles Clippers star justified his action.

In the NBA night, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers without too many problems with the result of 116-103 at the end of a game in which they were always in control. However, it was James Harden’s decision to “defend” his teammate Kawhi Leonard as the latter was about to take an open three-point shot that caused much astonishment.

The “Beard” then justified this decision in the post-game by stating: “The last few weeks have been pretty tough for us, everyone is waiting for us to start. I wanted to try to get some energy, some positive vibes. If Kawhi had made it, it would have been better, but at least we have something to laugh about”.
