James Harden and Eric Gordon continue to stake their claim as the best backcourt in the NBA — with or without Chris Paul — in a comfortable 109-93 win.
Harden had his first triple-double of the season, which means his MVP candidacy begins now! He had 27 points on 18 shots, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and stout defense once again. Eric Gordon ran the offense in the 11 minutes Harden was off the floor and was a +14, scoring 26 points and hitting 6/16 on three-pointers.
Gordon popped off the screen once again.
