James Harden and the Nets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 122-115 in the NBA on Christmas Day.

Harden had 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Patty Mills added 34 points for the Nets, who had their past three games postponed because they did not have enough players to compete. They were still without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, among others.

LeBron James scored 39 to pass Kobe Bryant for most career points on Christmas Day, but it was not enough to stop the Lakers’ losing streak from reaching five.

Meanwhile, the Warriors defeated the Suns 116-107 and the Bucks managed to fight back and overtake the Boston Celtics for an impressive 117-113.
