The Nets today won 120-105 at home to the Pelicans.
Because it was a home game, Irving could not play today, and Durant only played 12 minutes before leaving the game early due to injury, so the game became Harden alone. Fortunately, Harden continued his good form since Christmas, playing 40 minutes, shooting 9 of 15, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws, with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists.
In addition to Harden, Mills and Thomas also both cut 20+. Mills shot 7-of-13 from the field and had 21 points and three assists. Cameron Thomas shot 9-of-13 and had 20 points and six rebounds.
In today's game, Harden reached two major milestones, the first of which was to surpass Ray Allen in the number of career three-pointers and rise to the first place in history. In the last game, Harden hit 4,456 career three-pointers, tying Ray Allen.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Curry's career three-point shooting surpassed Ray Allen to rise to the first place in history, and soon reached the 3,000 three-point milestone. And now, Harden has also surpassed Ray Allen, although it is only the number of iron, but the number of three-point iron is the first in history and the first.
Moreover, Harden has also reached the milestone of 2,500 three-pointers this season, which is close to Ray Allen's record, and surpassing Ray Allen in the future is also a high-probability event, and can hit more than 3,000 three-pointers like Curry.
In terms of free throws, Harden also reached a milestone today, after hitting 7 free throws today, Harden's career regular season free throw shooting reached 6837, rising to the tenth in history, and the top ten were Karl Malone (9787), Moses Malone (8531), Kobe (8378), James (7715), Robertson (7694), Jordan (7327), Nowitzki (7240), Jerry West (7160) and Pierce (6918).
Among the active players, only James has more free throws than Harden, mainly because James has played longer. This season, Harden is also on track to reach the 7,000-free throw milestone, surpassing Pierce. Harden is also expected to surpass James in the future, and even replace Karl Malone as the first player in history to hit 10,000 free throws.
