Harden closed Thursday's 110-102 loss to the 76ers with 33 points (9-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-18 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 40 minutes. He also had six turnovers.
Continuing his stellar play of late, Harden's trajectory is looking up. He logged his second triple-double in three contests, and is now tied with Chris Paul for the league lead in assists per game at 9.8. The looming return of Kyrie Irving (not injury related) will alter his usage, but Harden is a nightly triple-double threat regardless.
