"Jokic scored 25 of Denver's 39 points in the first quarter. He had eight in the second before coming back with 19 in the third. He sat out most of the fourth before scoring three points to complete his night going 18-of-23 from the field. He missed adding to his league-leading six triple-doubles with six assists. The Serbian big man was 5-of-6 on 3-pointers and made 14 of 16 free throws."
"James Harden scored 23 points -- making all 10 of his free throws -- and had eight rebounds and five assists to lead the spiraling Clippers, who took a major blow earlier in the day when they found out that Bradley Beal will miss the rest of the season with a fractured hip. They're currently without Kawhi Leonard, who has a sprained ankle and foot."
