three-pointer

Harden scored 11 of the Clippers’ final 16 points in the first and assisted on three more when he found Batum for a three-pointer with 1.5 seconds left in the first.

It was his three-pointer with 1:35 left, off a pass from Kawhi Leonard, for a 103-100 lead that proved to be biggest of all in the Clippers’ 105-102 win.

Doncic hit a bank shot, Dorian Finney-Smith hit a three-pointer, James banked in a follow shot and Doncic hit two three throws to quickly push the lead back to 20.

It wasn’t over until Christian Braun missed a three and Nikola Jokic, who had a triple-double with 26 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, missed a three-pointer with one second left.

Jamal Murray tied the score at 100-100 with a three-pointer with 2:05 left.
