The Clippers&#8217; previous record, with 52 points, belonged to Charles Smith and Bob McAdoo.\n\nIvica Zubac contributed 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists for the Clippers, who managed to break a three-game losing streak.\n\nHarden, 36, unleashed his scoring fury with 27 points in the first quarter, including five three-pointers, which helped the Clippers build a 14-point lead in the first half, countering the Hornets&#8217; good start, who made seven of their first eight shots.\n\nKon Knueppel led the Hornets with 26 points, in a game where the team suffered its fifth consecutive loss. Brandon Miller, after a 13-game absence due to a shoulder injury, returned and contributed 21 points.\n\nThe game became decisive when LaMelo Ball had to leave the game after committing his fourth foul. In addition, Ryan Kalkbrenner&#8217;s early exit due to an ankle injury allowed the Clippers to take advantage of Zubac&#8217;s size advantage over Moussa Diabate in the third quarter, resulting in several points for the Clippers.\n\nHarden&#8217;s peak moment came when he scored his eighth three-pointer with a step-back shot over two defenders, drawing a foul from Diabate and completing a four-point play.\n\nHarden&#8217;s 55-point performance is the eleventh highest of his career and ties the season&#8217;s highest mark with Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Harden&#8217;s personal record is 61 points.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Harden Shines with 55 Points and Breaks Records In a stellar performance that will be etched in the memory of fans, James Harden scored 55 points and made 10 three-pointers, setting a new scoring record for the LA Clippers in their 131-116 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.
