Trying to intimidate Harden, Nikola Jokic came in aggressively, only to get shoved by Harden. And if that was not enough, Aaron Gordon joined in on the action. With all three big men coming at Harden, the Clippers’ star shockingly continued to stand his ground without flinching for once!
Thankfully, before the situation went out of control, Clippers’ 7-foot center Ivica Zubac intervened. Shortly after, the officials came in, and the situation was pacified. Luckily for both teams, none of the players got evicted. Meanwhile, after the game, Aaron Gordon had a strong message for his opponents.
