On January 2, Beijing time, in the second meeting of the season between the Nets and the Clippers, the Nets were tragically defeated by the Clippers to complete a double-digit 13-point reversal, allowing Harden tragedy to join the empty slashing group. Harden continued his hot performance, he contributed 34+12+13 in this campaign, especially in the last 4 games, he has shot 30+ triple-doubles three times, but he was helplessly reversed by the Clippers to join the empty cutting group.
Harden used his outstanding performance in this game to create several feats:
First, Harden has contributed three-doubles seven times this season, surpassing Jokic and Murray six times, and ranking second in the league after Westbrook for nine times.
Second, Harden has contributed 65 triple-doubles in his career, ranking 7th in history.
Third, Harden has slammed 30+ triple-doubles in 4 games, becoming the first NBA player this season.
Fourth, Harden has scored 30+ points in four consecutive games, becoming his first time this season.
Fifth, Harden surpassed Warriors black eight Byron Davis with 6,025 assists in 6,015 assists to rise to no. 37 in NBA history, the previous being Haflicek's 6,114 assists.
Sixth, Harden's 1409 steals tied Ellis's 1409 steals, rising to a tie for 56th place in NBA history, the previous being Tim Hardaway's 1428 steals.
Seventh, Harden surpassed Maddy with 6,710 goals to advance to 84th in NBA history, the previous being Warriors legend Chris Mullin's 6,740 goals.
Eighth, Harden surpassed Hall of Fame champion Legend Shays' 7,904 free throws to 22nd in NBA history, the previous being Elvin Hayes' 7,999 free throws.
After Harden's quarantine return, he has been bombarded with 30+ points in 4 consecutive games, except for the 39+8+15 data when he played against the Clippers on December 28, only 2 rebounds were unfortunately missed to achieve triple-double data, the remaining 3 games Harden was bombarded with 30+ data, and had to achieve triple-double data. Harden faced the Lakers' 36+10+10 and Philadelphia's 33+14+10 data, showing an unstoppable situation.
Now facing another game against the Clippers, Harden did not have a good crosshair in the first half, but he became an absolute brain on the organizational end and was full of fire in the second half, including 3 three-pointers in the third quarter and scoring 16 points. At the beginning of the final quarter, Harden reached a triple-double statistic and raised his score to 30 points, thus completing the 30+ triple-double data again.
It was only Harden who led the Nets to a 13-point lead, but was frantically counterattacked by the remnant Clippers, especially in the last minute, the Clippers continued to use free throws to lay down the victory, so that the Nets lost a regrettable defeat, but also by the Bulls to open the gap.
