Once again James Harden has joined and set new records, this time it is making Harden one of the 4 players of all time with more than 100 40 point games in their career. Harden joins an elite club consisting of Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant as the only players to have accomplished this feat.
The Clippers defeated the Wizards pretty easily 121-96, and the only reason it was that easy is because of James Harden’s impressive 43 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.
Since joining the Clippers, this performance was by far Harden’s best performance, and once again Harden has entered the record books. This season with the loss of Paul George and Russell Westbrook and with Kawhi Leonard injured, James Harden has had to take the offense in his own hands, averaging 21.6 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 8.7 APG, and 1.6 SPG throughout 20 games played.
