Outperforming his own expectations after the season in which he was an All-Star and All-NBA guard was not expected, but James Harden is doing so as an outlier on the LA Clippers. His consistency has kept the fans’ motors running, and following his performance against the Dallas Mavericks, many are realizing he will repeat the accomplishments of a year ago and is undoubtedly a top-three guard in the Western Conference.
Against Dallas in the first game of a long road trip, Harden posted 41 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading the Clippers in all major categories.
