Earlier this week, Nets stars Kyrie Irving and James Harden had a brief chat after practice to clarify their on-court roles with the franchise.
“I feel like he’s been doing a great job of just managing the point guard role,” Irving said Brooklyn's 134-117 win over the Warriors on Saturday night. "We established that maybe four days ago. I just looked at him and I said, ‘You’re the point guard, and I’m going to play shooting guard.’ That was as simple as that."
Harden had 16 assists on Saturday night, increasing his total to 11.6 assists per game since joining the Nets in mid-January.
