With the Clippers’ razor-thin margin of error, the team can’t afford to miss shots from the charity stripe. Unfortunately, that was the case versus the Suns, as the Clippers went 21-of-30 from that area, with Harden splitting his charities with only 4.1 seconds left in the game to leave his team trailing by one, 114-113.

The crowd is electric, the arena is packed, but the Clippers are still without Kawhi Leonard and lose in overtime to the Suns.

The Los Angeles Clippers honored the late Jerry West with a video tribute midway through the first quarter of their season opener.
