James Harden, Clippers beat Nets to remain hot

NEW YORK — As hot as the Clippers have been the past few weeks, they weren’t likely to misfire against one of the worst teams in the NBA.

James Harden scored 31 points, Kawhi Leonard had 26 and the Clippers led wire-to-wire to beat the struggling Brooklyn Nets, 121-105, on Friday night.

Reserve guard Jordan Miller made his first six shots and added 21 points. John Collins had 16 for the Clippers (14-23), who bounced back from their loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday to win for the eighth time in 10 games.
