Kevin Durant and James Harden face each other in Houston for the first time as simultaneous top-10 all-time scorers, days after Durant passed 31,000 points and Harden climbed above Carmelo Anthony into 10th on the NBA’s career list. Harden’s late-career scoring surge after his Houston explosion years now has him chasing Shaquille O’Neal for ninth, while Durant’s sustained efficiency gives him a realistic shot at moving past Wilt Chamberlain, Dirk Nowitzki and even Michael Jordan if he maintains his current output.

James Harden moved into the NBA’s top ten all-time scorers by passing Carmelo Anthony during the Clippers’ loss to the Timberwolves, hitting two free throws to reach 28,290 career points and extend a remarkable scoring career now spanning 17 seasons of constant offensive production. Starting the night 20 points behind Anthony, Harden finished with 34 on 10-of-18 shooting but missed a tying three at the buzzer in a 109-106 defeat, later calling the milestone a “blessing” and proof that work is paying off as he targets higher spots.
