Harden guides Nets to epic comeback
Rally from 24-point deficit for fourth straight win
With Kevin Durant nursing a hamstring strain and Kyrie Irving resting a tight lower back, the Brooklyn Nets were down to one superstar and in a 24-point, first-half hole in Phoenix, Arizona Tuesday night.
That only made it sweeter when James Harden led them to their biggest comeback win since the franchise joined the NBA in 1976.
“It’s the true definition of a team,” said Harden after putting up 38 points, handing out 11 assists and grabbing seven rebounds in Brooklyn’s stunning 128-124 victory over the Suns in front of 3,181 fans at PHX Arena.
