James Harden suffers FOURTH straight loss since Clippers trade as Los Angeles falls to the Memphis Grizzlies - the NBA's joint-worst team

The Los Angeles Clippers dropped to 0-4 since trading for 10-time All-Star James Harden after being defeated 105-101 by the Memphis Grizzles on Sunday.

Harden had 11 points in the game and shot 4-12 from the field and 1-7 from three-point range.

Throughout Harden's four games in LA the Clippers are an astounding -67 when he is on the court compared to +24 when he's on the bench. 

The one three-pointer he did hit came on a game tying shot with 1:33 left but he airballed another clutch shot in the closing seconds.

Memphis sits bottom of the Western Conference but they improved to 2-8 while waiting for All-Star guard Ja Morant to return from a 25-game suspension next month. Both wins have come on the road.

Luke Kennard hit four 3-pointers and scored 13 points off the bench against his old team. Memphis made 13 3-pointers, while the Clippers made seven of their 12 in the fourth.

Paul George scored 26 points, Norman Powell added 20 and Russell Westbrook had 12 points, nine rebounds and five assists on his 35th birthday, but the Clippers dropped their fifth in a row and lost at home for the first time in four games.

During one of the four losses Harden even endured 'Daryl Morey' chants while shooting free throws against the Brooklyn Nets. 

Desmond Bane scored 27 points and lead the Grizzlies in scoring during the afternoon contest.

The Grizzlies were outscored 33-26 in the fourth but hung on by making 6 of 8 free throws in the final minutes.
