NBA regular season, the Clippers faced the Hornets.

In the first quarter, Harden played 12 minutes, making 9 of 12 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 27 points.

The 27 points tied the Clippers player's historical single-quarter scoring record, previously set by Lou Williams.

It is worth mentioning that Harden only made 1 free throw among the three free throws at the end of the quarter, otherwise he would have set a new team history record.
