James Harden had a rough Game 5 after going off for 33 points in Game 4 of the first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks.
The former MVP was limited to just seven points on a 2-of-12 shooting as the Los Angeles Clippers suffered a blowout loss, now trailing 2-3 in the series.
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue took it upon himself to create better situations for Harden for Game 6.
“He didn’t play well. So I got to do a better job at getting him in better situations and then be ready for Game 6 because I know he’ll be better,” Lue said, per Mark Medina.
Harden is averaging 22.2 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists in 39.6 minutes per game in this series.
