NUEVA YORK (AP) Olv\u00eddese de ser reserva. James Harden estuvo fuera de juego tanto tiempo que no recordaba c\u00f3mo era ser titular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todo volvi\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente, tal como esperaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abNo me gusta alardear ni nada, pero soy realmente bueno en este juego\u00bb, dijo Harden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harden tuvo 18 puntos y 11 asistencias en su regreso de una ausencia de 18 juegos para ayudar a los Brooklyn Nets a vencer a los San Antonio Spurs 128-116 el mi\u00e9rcoles por la noche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saliendo de la banca en un juego de la NBA por primera vez desde que gan\u00f3 el premio al Sexto Hombre de la liga para Oklahoma City en 2011-12, Harden tambi\u00e9n tuvo siete rebotes despu\u00e9s del descanso m\u00e1s largo de su carrera. No jugaba desde el 5 de abril debido a una distensi\u00f3n en el tend\u00f3n de la corva derecho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dijo que hab\u00eda olvidado sus rutinas de sus d\u00edas como sumiso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abPero ese papel de sexto hombre, tambi\u00e9n lo domin\u00e9\u00bb, dijo Harden. \u00bb Obtuve un premio por ese papel. Ese papel es f\u00e1cil. Entra e impacta el juego. Haz lo que sea necesario para ganar, ya sea a la defensiva u ofensiva. Pero ese es mi papel pase lo que pase, especialmente en este equipo \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landry Shamet anot\u00f3 21 puntos y Nicolas Claxton tuvo un r\u00e9cord personal de 18 para los Nets. Ganaron su tercer partido consecutivo y se acercaron a 1 1\/2 juegos de Filadelfia para liderar la Conferencia Este.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Durant sum\u00f3 14 puntos, siete rebotes y siete asistencias. Los Nets jugaron sin Kyrie Irving luego de que dejara su victoria en Chicago el martes con una contusi\u00f3n facial. Todav\u00eda han tenido a sus tres superestrellas jugando juntas solo siete veces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero pusieron a ocho jugadores en cifras dobles y dispararon al 60,8% para cerrar un r\u00e9cord de 22-8, el mejor de la liga, contra equipos de la Conferencia Oeste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeMar DeRozan anot\u00f3 21 puntos para los Spurs, que perdieron la oportunidad de asegurarse un lugar en el torneo de entrada. Dejounte Murray tuvo 15 puntos y 11 rebotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW YORK (AP) Forget being a reserve. James Harden was sidelined so long he couldn’t remember what it was like even to be a starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all came back quickly, just as he expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbNot to like brag or anything, but I’m like really, really good at this game,\u00bb Harden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harden had 18 points and 11 assists in his return from an 18-game absence to help the Brooklyn Nets beat the San Antonio Spurs 128-116 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming off the bench in an NBA game for the first time since he won the league’s Sixth Man award for Oklahoma City in 2011-12, Harden also had seven rebounds after the longest layoff of his career. He hadn’t played since April 5 because of a strained right hamstring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he had forgotten his routines from his days as a sub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbBut that sixth-man role, I mastered that as well,\u00bb Harden said. \u00bbI got an award for that role. That role is easy. Come in and impact the game. Do whatever it takes to win, whether it’s defensively or offensively. But that’s my role no matter what, especially on this team.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landry Shamet scored 21 points and Nicolas Claxton had a career-high 18 for the Nets. They won their third straight and pulled within 1 1\/2 games of Philadelphia for the Eastern Conference lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Durant had 14 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. The Nets played without Kyrie Irving after he left their victory in Chicago on Tuesday with a facial contusion. They still have had their three superstars play together just seven times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they put eight players in double figures and shot 60.8% to wrap up a league-best 22-8 record against Western Conference teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points for the Spurs, who missed a chance to secure a spot in the play-in tournament. Dejounte Murray had 15 points and 11 rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
