INGLEWOOD — Clippers point guard James Harden will be appearing in his 16th NBA postseason, an interrupted journey that began back in 2010. He has not missed the playoffs in nearly two decades. Yet, the prospect of playing additional games never grows old for the 35-year-old guard. Each series presents new challenges, new players and another chance at winning a title, something that has eluded Harden so far.

The Clippers’ postseason positioning rests with one game, one last chance, one final opportunity to land a coveted top-six seed. And if they miss, if they lose to their regular-season finale on Sunday, the Clippers would be staring at a spot in the Play-In Tournament, where the Nos. 7-10 teams battle for the final two seeds in the tightly congested Western Conference. All that stands in their way are the Golden State Warriors.

INGLEWOOD — The missing faces were obvious from the tipoff. With the No. 2 seed locked up, the Houston Rockets sat four of their normal starters, leaving power forward Jalen Green as the lone recognizable player in the lineup. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue wasn’t concerned about which players his team would see on the floor in the final home game of the regular season. The Clippers had a job to do, and it didn’t matter who did or didn’t stand in their way.

INGLEWOOD — Winning their final four regular-season games wasn’t guaranteed, not with the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors on the schedule. The sub-.500 San Antonio Spurs, without their two best players, were one team the Clippers were expected to brush aside with relative ease. The Clippers had momentum, a healthy roster and the drive to finish the regular season as one of the top six spots in the ever-evolving Western Conference standings.

It would be tempting to look at the Clippers’ recent success and get caught up in the euphoria of a championship run. They have won 14 of their past 17 games and, at 46-32, are firmly in the hunt for a top-six seed in the Western Conference playoffs. But that would be premature. In the congested Western Conference, where a half-game separates teams Nos. 4-8 with 5-8 locked in a four-way tie entering Monday’s schedule, one loss could send title aspirations skidding into the Play-In Tournament.

INGLEWOOD - Seeing Clippers star Kawhi Leonard in the starting lineup isn't unusual. But seeing the two-time NBA Finals MVP on the court on the second night of a back-to-back is rare, a phenomenon that hasn't happened at all this season. In fact, Leonard has not participated fully in a back-to-back series since the 2023-24 season when he appeared in 68 games. But there he was Saturday, not just playing, but playing without the hesitation that might have accompanied him in the past.
