He played an average of 32.9 minutes over the last 25 games, posting 25.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 4.0 blocks. He also scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 blocks in an away game against the Brooklyn Nets. San Antonio won 96-87.

Harden said: “Shooting seems to be gaining more and more confidence. He throws with confidence. He is also active in defense.

He considered himself a complete player, but Harden also showed his rusty skills that day. He contributed to his team’s 102-92 victory by scoring 18 points and seven assists and making 14 shots, including six.

The Clippers had all of their starters score in double figures. Norman Powell scored the most points with 26 points and Ivica Zubac double-doubled with 17 points and 11 rebounds.

Golden State was disappointed that Stephen Curry and Draymond Green were absent together. Jonathan Kuminga played with 34 points and 10 rebounds, but the color faded.
