Lu: When I saw Harden score 26 points at the end of the first quarter, I knew his hands were feeling hot.

Hupu November 23 News Today’s NBA regular season away game between the Clippers and the Hornets has ended. At the end of the game, the Clippers defeated the Hornets 131-116.

After the game, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue was interviewed by reporters and talked about Harden's performance:

When I looked up and saw that he had scored 26 points at the end of the first quarter... I knew that his hands were hot, but during the game, I actually didn't know how many points he had scored.

Like I said, he carried us on the offensive end. I thought we were doing the right thing offensively, moving the ball to the weak side, and then he was able to get his action going and get one-on-one. I think we trust each other and Harden does a great job. They stepped up defensively in the second half, but he still trusted the pass and trusted our guys to make the right decisions, and we did that in the second half. So, it's really good to see that.
