Entertaining game here in Chicago unfortunately the Bulls fell to the Clippers and if you’re gonna get beat, you might as well get beat by future Hall of Famers – James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Superb job by Giddey , Collins and Jones. Up next : Friday at home with Raptors. – 10:57 PM

The Clippers have had 5 3-game losing streaks this season
All of them were snapped once they saw either Zach Collins or Kyle Filipowski.
Clippers win 122-117
Huge James Harden 2nd half
Tape on BEN SIMMONS later tonight 📼 – 10:17 PM

Harden dagger.
Nets, 76ers and Raptors all lose so Bulls will still have at least 1.5-game lead for 10th seed, 2.5 if they somehow rally – 10:10 PM

It’s not just Harden shot making… except for one blow by, he has been in sync with Clippers bench on the defensive end, both on his man and communicating loudly – 9:42 PM

More on this storyline
Harden knows his approach stands out from many of his peers. He spends offseasons in Scottsdale, works out at the university, and enjoys being on campus 16 years after being a student. “NIL nowadays is the most important thing, because kids want to be compensated for their play and their work, which makes sense,” Harden said. “I wanted to be a part of helping the team and the school get players … and if NIL is the problem, then I can help with that.” It’s clear that players like Harden view the returns on their investment differently. Hawks guard Georges Niang has contributed $100,000 annually to Iowa State’s We Will collective since NIL became legal in 2021, and he’s happy to try to help fund his alma mater’s success. Even so, he’s aware of the downside of his decision. -via Front Office Sports / February 25, 2025
On April 29, Quaintance committed to Arizona State, a team coming off a 14–18 season that had made the tournament just five times in the past 20 years, never advancing beyond the second round. But the Sun Devils had something those other programs lacked: a high-six-figure donation from NBA superstar James Harden to his alma mater’s Sun Angel collective, Front Office Sports has learned. Harden’s two-year college career came well before college athletes could legally earn money for their NIL (name, image, and likeness), but now he’s involved in helping his school compete with the big boys for top talent. Adding Quaintance helped the Sun Devils sign a top-10 recruiting class heading into this season. -via Awful Announcing / February 25, 2025
