If he is talked about for his ridiculous action, James Harden also took advantage of the match of the night to recover a record. Not so bad for the Bearded Man, who continues his little one quietly path to the Nets.
In difficulty at the start of the season, the Nets have been doing better in recent meetings. Kevin Durant continues his carnage, he who serves as the favorite for the MVP at the moment. This is all the more worrying for the competition as the winger can keep up, especially since Kyrie Irving is not around.
There is James Harden, but he has struggled since the resumption, and it is starting to last. First there was the rule change, as Steve Nash tried to play down the issue by explaining that the star needed to pick up his pace. But several weeks later, and the former Rockets member is still in the rough.
Another place in history for James Harden
This was verified against the Pistons on Friday night, where Harden chained the good… and the very bad. He finished with a triple-double (13 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds), but at 3/10 shooting. He also compiles 9 ball losses, of which this ridiculous action in the third quarter. At least he has allowed himself to reclaim a place in history.
Indeed, Harden only needed a few units to overtake Clyde Drexler in NBA history in the top scorer rankings. With 13 points, he fulfilled his contract and lands in 32nd position. We will have to wait a little longer before seeing him recover places, but it is far from over for him.

James Harden overtakes Clyde Drexler to become the 32nd best scorer in NBA history.
For information, Harden now has 22,204 career points in total. Behind him ? Elgin Baylor, which has 23,149 units: we will have to wait a bit for the rest.
Although in difficulty last night, James Harden took the opportunity to grab another place in history. Good for the Bearded Man, who will still have to wake up in the coming weeks. Otherwise, Brooklyn can hardly hope for a title.
