LOS ANGELES—James Harden hit a tie-breaking 3-pointer while getting fouled with six seconds to play, sending the Los Angeles Clippers to their first victory since his arrival with a 106–100 win over the Houston Rockets on Friday night, Nov. 17, in the NBA In-Season Tournament.

Harden dramatically drew the foul from Jae'Sean Tate and drilled his vintage 26-footer from atop the key before completing the four-point play to secure the win.
