LOS ANGELES - James Harden scored 23 points, Joe Harris added 21 with six 3-pointers and the Brooklyn Nets routed the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers 109-98 Thursday night for their season-best fifth straight victory. It’s one of our points of emphasis.”TIP-INSNets: DeAndre Jordan had seven points and eight rebounds in the longtime Clippers centre’s latest return to Staples Center. Los Angeles intends to be conservative with the All-NBA big man, allowing him to return to full strength before he plays again. James was also the youngest in NBA history to 5,000 points, 10,000 points, 20,000 points and 30,000 points. They’ve also got seven straight wins over Western Conference opponents for their longest streak since November 2006.
