James Harden sitting at fourth place on the all-time leaderboard for most 50-point games makes plenty of sense. He's been perhaps the NBA's most dangerous one-on-one scorer for more than a decade now. He has three scoring titles. These are the traits one would expect out of a 50-point scorer.

Harden ended up with the eighth 50-point game in franchise history, the first since Lou Williams on Jan. 10, 2018, at Golden State. He joined Williams, Bob McAdoo and World B. Free as the only players in club history with at least four 40-point games in a season.
