You won’t believe what James Harden just pulled off on the court!
Harden’s Hoops Magic vs. Nuggets
Picture this: the Clippers, fresh off a tough NBA Cup loss to the Timberwolves, hit the hardwood against the Denver Nuggets. It was a nail-biter, but they squeezed out a win by just four points. Norman Powell got things rolling with a sweet three-pointer, but it was Luka Jokic who kept the Nuggets in the game with a fierce comeback. Jokic was on fire, dropping 28 pointsโhis sixth time scoring over 25 in just seven games. But let’s be real, the night belonged to Harden.
Harden was in vintage form, racking up 39 points, dishing out 11 assists, and grabbing nine boards. Just shy of a triple-double! He was like a maestro orchestrating a symphony, and honestly, I think he might be drinking from the fountain of youth. Harden’s performance was so electric, it felt like watching a highlight reel in real-time.

Three-Point Royalty
Now, here’s where things get spicy. Harden wasn’t just sinking buckets; he was making history. With six three-pointers in the game, he joined the elite club of players who’ve nailed 3,000 threes. And guess who’s in that club? None other than Steph Curry! It’s like joining the Hall of Fame of long-range snipers. Harden himself said, โAnother one of those accomplishments that you never take for granted.โ The dude’s been grinding, and it’s paying off big time.
Clippers Cruisin’ Without Kawhi
Even with Kawhi Leonard sidelined, the Clippers are holding their own in the wild, wild West. Harden’s been a huge part of that, averaging 21.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game. He’s like the engine keeping the Clippers’ train on track. Speaking of trains, did you hear about that Curry trade rumor? Wild stuff.

So, what’s next for Harden and the Clippers? Could they make a real run in the playoffs? Or will they fizzle out without Kawhi? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sureโHarden’s not done making headlines. What do you think? Can he keep this pace up all season?
