Although he has been in the league since the 2009-10 season, James Harden still relishes the opportunity whenever he gets to play back where it all started.
The Los Angeles-born Harden had 24 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds, helping the Philadelphia 76ers hang on for a 113-112 win over the Lakers, despite a monstrous 35-point effort from LeBron James.
This is the second-straight one-point win for Philly. The Sixers beat the Utah Jazz 118-117 on Saturday.
“We won, that’s all that matters,” Harden said following the victory.
