Steve Nash students at home 112: 107 (37:25, 24:27, 26:25, 25:30) broke the Minnesota Timberwolves (11-36).
Harden scored 38 points (7/17 doubles, 4/8 trit., 12/13 penalties) in 40 minutes, 13 assists, 11 rebounds and 1 interception, 1 block and 6 errors.
With two minutes remaining, Kyrie Irving connected two points and increased the Nets’ lead to 10 points (108: 98), but the Timberwolves were reluctant to give up.
Karl-Anthony Town hit a triple, Jaden McDaniels made a successful foray to the basket and Anthony Edwards scored 4 straight points and gave the teams just one point of 107: 108 with 58 seconds left.
However, after this episode, neither team was lucky enough to see a productive attack and it all ended with the guests forced to use intentional foul tactics.
With 14 seconds to go, Harden took both penalties, Malik Beasley missed a 3-pointer after the episode, and the Nets’ victory was finally secured by Irving, who was wrong at the penalty line.
“He’s our leader and his performance means a lot,” Nash said of Harden after the duel. “We can’t take that as an everyday thing, but it’s not easy because James plays like this most of the time.”
For Harden, it was already the 12th triple-double in the Nets’ ranks. With that, he caught up with Jason Kidd, and that Harden had just 32 games.
For the Brooklyn team, it was their 18th win in the last 21 games. Nets was not helped tonight by Kevin Durant, who is still being treated for a lower leg injury, and LaMarcus Aldridge, who recently joined the team and is working on his fitness.
