The visiting Brooklyn Nets were shorthanded when they arrived to face the Phoenix Suns, but it was no problem for Nets’ star James Harden.
Brooklyn was playing without stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on Tuesday night. Durant was out with a hamstring injury while Irving was out with lower back tightness. This left Harden to lead the team for the night.
Harden showed off his scoring prowess, as he dropped 38 points to lead Brooklyn’s 24 point comeback over Phoenix. One of the highlights includes the superstar sinking a three-pointer to give the team the lead with 31 seconds left.
In addition, Joe Harris helped the scoring load with 22 points, and Brooklyn’s bench added a total of 40 points to help power the Nets. Harden contributed 11 assists and seven rebounds to his scoring outburst.
