Strong Performances from James Harden & Kawhi Leonard Seal the Win as Chris Paul Gets Tribute
INGLEWOOD — The Los Angeles Clippers celebrated their home opener in emphatic fashion, rolling past the Phoenix Suns behind dominant showings from James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. The energy in the Intuit Dome was electric, with a standout moment coming early for veteran guard Chris Paul.
Clippers get first win of the season
A Crowd-Pleasing Return
With 2 minutes, 25 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Chris Paul entered the game and was greeted with a roaring standing ovation from the crowd. The moment offered a powerful reminder of his long history in L.A. and the respect he still commands from Clippers fans.
Harden & Leonard Lead the Charge
Harden delivered a stellar performance, guiding the Clippers with scoring and facilitation. Leonard added his usual two-way presence, attacking the rim and anchoring the defence. Together, their leadership set the tone for the night.
Early Momentum, Lasting Control
The Clippers grabbed a lead late in the first quarter thanks to a key basket by Kris Dunn. With 47 seconds remaining in the quarter, Dunn knocked down a mid-range two-point shot to take the lead — and the Clippers never surrendered it. From that point on, L.A. extended their advantage, at one point pushing the lead to 32 points.
What This Win Means
The victory sends a clear message: the Clippers are ready to defend their home court in their arena and lean on their veteran core to set the tone. With big games ahead, this one gives them momentum. For the Suns, the loss highlights the work still needed if they’re going to contend in a deep Western Conference.
Final Thoughts
Tonight’s performance was about more than just a win. It was about statement-making. From the ovation for Chris Paul, to the clutch shot by Kris Dunn, to the dominant showings by Harden and Leonard — the Clippers orchestrated a memorable night in their home opener.
