Five games, 261 points, none of them assisted.
Whoa. Chris Paul presumably returns this week to help the Beard get an assisted bucket, lol.
Harden's 61-point game gave him 21 consecutive games with at least 30 points, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the fourth-longest streak in NBA history. Harden still trails three different Chamberlain streaks, including the record-setting 65-game run Chamberlain put up in 1961-62 -- the season he averaged an NBA record 50.4 points per game.
Amazingly, Harden continues to do all this on his own. Wednesday night was the fifth consecutive game in which all of his points came without the benefit of an assist, a span of 261 points. His last assisted basket came on Jan. 13, off a pass from Clint Capela. In that run, Harden has recorded games of 57, 58, and 61 points. No other player in the past 20 seasons has scored more than 53 points without the benefit of an assist. Harden's 261 points over his past five games are the second-most by any player in a five-game span over the past 50 seasons behind Bryant's 268 from March 16-25, 2007.
