Brooklyn Nets star James Harden cites maturity as reason for early chemistry with Kevin Durant

NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets stars Kevin Durant and James Harden are jelling at an impressive pace -- and the history books back that up.

On Monday, they became the first duo to score 30-plus points in each of their first two games with a franchise as the Nets defeated the Bucks 125-123. Durant had 30 points, 9 rebounds and six assists in Monday's game, while Harden put up 34 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists.

That comes on the heels of Harden's 30-point triple-double performance on Saturday night in his Nets debut against the Magic.
