Watch: James Harden Clips Nails on Sidelines During Blowout Loss to 76ers

James Harden sat out the fourth quarter of the Rockets' 121-93 loss at Philadelphia on Monday, providing the reigning MVP with time to catch up on some self-grooming.
Houston's star clipped his fingernails during the fourth-quarter blowout after pouring in 37 points in 31 minutes. The Beard has scored 30-plus points in 20-straight games, the second-longest streak in NBA history.
When you're down by 30, you have time to...clip your nails 🤷♂️
