: What’s incredible about this is that Harden was in Los Angeles earlier today at the Kobe Bryant memorial. Russell Westbrook and PJ Tucker were there too.
Westbrook isn’t playing tonight because of a thumb issue, but the Bryant service — given how emotional it was — could be another reason why Westbrook wasn’t able to give it a go and that’s completely understandable.
Harden entered Monday averaging 35.2 points per game for the Rockets.
