Detroit Pistons at LA Clippers
· National Basketball AssociationHarden scores 50 points for 1st time with Clippers as Los Angeles beats Pistons 123-115

Harden scored 23 in the first quarter and ended up with the eighth 50-point game in franchise history, the first since Lou Williams on Jan. 10, 2018, at Golden State.
Bogdan Bogdanovic added 23 points and Ivica Zubac had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers, who played without Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Norman Powell (hamstring) on the second night of back-to-back games.
Cade Cunningham had 37 points and 10 assists for the Pistons, who lost for just the second time in 12 games.
Clippers: Los Angeles had lost three straight and six of seven after its collapse against Phoenix on Tuesday, so Harden's throwback performance was a timely one.
