James Harden joins esteemed company despite lossAugust 14, 2020 | 08:32 PM

James Harden finished Friday's loss to the 76ers with 27 points (9-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, two blocks and four 3-pointers in 26 minutes. Analysis: Harden played the majority of his minutes in the first half, as he and the other key contributors were shut down by about the halfway point of the third quarter. With the regular season coming to an end he led the league in both total points and total assists, becoming the third player in NBA history to do so. Michael Jordan accomplished the feat three times, and Allen Iverson once.
