What a pity! Harden: Paul and I had a great opportunity to accomplish something special with the Rockets

In the NBA regular season, the Clippers defeated the Hornets 131-116. Harden accepted interviews with the media after the game.

Talking about Paul's announcement to retire after the season, Harden said: "My brother, you need to get healthy and return to the court. We played in the Olympics together. In Houston, we had a great opportunity to achieve something special. Although it fell short, even so, it seems that his career is incredible so far."

"He is a true leader, our brother, a true point guard, and he has indeed affected the game in a positive way."
