In the Nets 138-112 blowout win over the Bulls, James Harden was extremely efficient, recording 25 points, 16 assists, 7 rebounds, a steal, and a block.

With the league’s new foul call rule changes, James Harden struggled early in the 2021-2022 campaign. However, returning to the line-up after being cleared from the league’s health and safety protocols, it seems as if Harden started to find his groove. The Beard dropped a solid 36/10/10 in Brooklyn’s Christmas Day win over the Lakers, followed it by 3 more 30-point outbursts, and has been stuffing the stat sheet on a nightly basis, ever since.

During Brooklyn’s highly-anticipated clash against the #1 team in their conference – Chicago Bulls, Harden had to bring in his best game. And indeed he did. Dropping 25 points, 16 assists, 7 rebounds, a steal, and a block, Harden, alongside KD with his 27-point outing, propelled the Nets to grab the much-needed win.

Since the 25^th December clash, Harden has been playing on an elite level, finally performing like the MVP caliber player he is. In those 9 games, the 2018 MVP has been putting up 27.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 10.8 assists on 45.1% shooting from the field.
