Harden heals, but Nets get burnt by Suns
Superstar returns from hand injury in 121-111 road loss
James Harden’s strained right hand healed enough to let him play in Phoenix on Tuesday night.

Harden and the slumping Brooklyn Nets suffered their season-high fifth consecutive defeat, 121-111, to the streaking Suns in front of 17,701 fans at the Footprint Center.
