LOS ANGELES -- Chris Paul and James Harden have been training together virtually all summer, since the Houston Rockets acquired Paul from the LA Clippers in a trade last month. Sunday they made their public debut as teammates in front of a standing-room-only crowd at Los Angeles' famed Drew League.
Harden finished with game-highs of 27 points and 12 rebounds, while adding six assists and two steals for his LAUNFD (pronounced "L.A. Unified") team, which pulled out an 83-81 win over a Home Town Favorites team that featured current NBA players Jordan Bell, Delon Wright and Tim Hardaway, Jr.
