Harden tallied 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists on 8-for-14 shooting from the field and 4-for-8 from beyond the arc.

The 35-year-old guard is having an impressive All-Star season despite being in his 16th campaign in the NBA.

The 2018 MVP officially passed Elvin Hayes to move into 12th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Harden currently sits at 27,316 points, only 93 points away from passing Moses Malone for 11th place. Moreover, he is just 974 points away from passing Carmelo Anthony to move into the top ten.

The 2009 first-round pick is one of the best scorers in NBA history. Harden has led the league in scoring for three consecutive seasons (’18-’20) and averaged 30-plus points for three straight seasons (’17-’20).

The eleven-time All-Star is averaging 22.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists in 64 games this season. Harden could potentially make an All-NBA team if he can lift Los Angeles out of play-in contention and continue performing at this level.
