James Harden didn't dwell on the past as the LA Clippers won at the Philadelphia 76ers. Instead, Harden focused on the Clippers figuring out who they are and how much they enjoy playing together.
"We're coming around, and we're understanding who we are," Harden said. "Understanding that in order for us to have a chance at anything, we know we have to do it every single night. And that's the most exciting part. And then, one thing about this team, we're all happy for each other. Literally, it can be anybody's night, on any given night. Nobody's going to be upset; everybody's going to be happy for each other. And things aren't always going to be perfect to win games. But even when we lose, we're still happy for each other. Good things will happen most of the time."
Clippers coach Ty Lue added that his team knowing who will play each game has been huge after years of dealing with uncertainty with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. But still, Lue said LA will appreciate it when Leonard returns from his latest knee injury.
"We've been able to lock into having one team," Lue said. "We know who's going to play every single night. So it's been helpful. But, you know, we definitely need him back, for sure."
