James Harden not focused on NBA scoring title
![]() |
Here’s the Houston Chronicle reporting on Rockets guard James Harden, with stats through Tuesday’s games and not including Wednesday’s results:
With Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook scoring just 17 points on Tuesday, Rockets guard James Harden’s lead for the NBA scoring title grew to two-tenths of a point, the largest margin since Harden regained the scoring lead last week.
Harden is averaging 27.7 going into tonight’s game vs. San Antonio. Westbrook is at 27.5.
Harden did not know. He did not want to know, and his friends, family and teammates know not to tell him.
“I don’t want to hear it,” Harden said. “I don’t want to hear. I think the most important thing right now is winning. I’ve said it plenty of times, just winning and getting in a rhythm going into the postseason.
