With Kevin Durant out for the foreseeable future and Kyrie Irving’s part-time status, the Nets are essentially Harden’s team now. The Beard stepped up to the responsibility and how, scoring a mean triple-double with 37 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. It was his 8th triple-double of the season and 66th of his career (8th most in the NBA history).

The best part about his performance was that he shot well from the field without relying much on the free throws and drawing fouls. He shot 54% from the field and 50% from the three-point territory (4-8). In the process, he shot only seven free throws. It was only 2nd time this season that James Harden scored 30 or more points from the field goals (i.e. after excluding the free throws). Before this, Harden scored 39 points with five free throws (on 60% shooting) in the December 27th game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
