Harden tweaks hammy in win over Knicks
Irving's 40 points enough to outlast rivals after star's injury
James Harden couldn’t wait to resume his MVP season and the Nets’ drive toward their first-ever NBA title.
Perhaps he should have waited just a bit longer.
Harden re-tweaked an injured right hamstring in the opening quarter, but Kyrie Irving’s 40-point night carried the Brooklyn Nets to a come-from-behind 114-112 victory over the New York Knicks in front of 1,773 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
