With a keen eye for dominating the Charlotte Hornets, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard delivered the bright, young squad led by LaMelo Ball their 16th-straight loss to the LA Clippers on Monday night. In the postgame interview, Harden commented on the greatness of his tandem with Leonard, and in retrospect, none of what he said was wrong.
