Hits for 28 points in decisive win
Harden supplied 28 points (7-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 40 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 win over the Pistons.
Analysis
It was a tall task to come anywhere close to Kawhi Leonard's historic 55-point game, but Harden managed a solid line despite the voluminous total from his teammate. Harden padded his numbers by going a perfect 11 of 11 from the charity stripe. The veteran has been superb during the current win streak, averaging 28 points, 7.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals over the past four games.

Drops 29 points in decisive win
Harden totaled 29 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 128-108 win over the Rockets.
Analysis
Harden and Kawhi Leonard accounted for 70 of the Clippers' 128 points during the impressive beatdown of the Rockets. The dialed-in combo of Harden and Leonard is the recipe for success in Los Angeles, and keeping the duo healthy and productive is the team's top priority. Losing Ivica Zubac (ankle) for at least three weeks stings, but if the backups can step up, the team can extend this winning streak to three games against Portland this week behind Harden's supreme production.
