James Harden Reminds the League About his Dangerous Combination with Kevin Durant at Nets

After being reunited after eight years, James Harden and Kevin Durant are going off. Tonight, they registered a sensational victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. The game was close till the very last second, and it was KD who scored a cold-blooded dagger to the seal the game.

Although Durant was the one to finish off the game, the Beard had another impressive game. He finished the game with a double-double courtesy of 34 points and 12 assists. Durant walked toe to toe with Harden as he was just a rebound shy of a double-double himself.

The Harden and KD duo combined for 64 points to take care of business vs the Bucks. Following this scoring outburst, the duo entered NBA history books for scoring the second most points in their first two games for a franchise.

They are second only to Wilt Chamberlain and York Larese, who hold the record with 151 points. While they might have missed the top spot by just a few points, one thing is certain; the league is in trouble.

It was just their second game together, but their chemistry has drastically improved since the last fixture. Once Kyrie Irving returns, it’ll be exciting to see how he fits in with the dynamic duo.

James Harden talks about his relationship with Kevin Durant

Harden and Durant used to play for the OKC when they were still making a name for themselves. Despite being two young lads, they went to the 2012 NBA Finals together. Fast forward to 2021, and they have the opportunity to repeat that success. On this, Harden said, “We were young in Oklahoma City. We’re men now.”

During their last NBA Finals run together, Harden was 22 and KD was just 23 years old. But now they have years of experience under their belt and are on a completely different level. But the question remains, can they maintain the same level of performance once Irving is back?
