James Harden netted 30 points, made up 15 assists and added 14 rebounds as the Brooklyn Nets pulled off a 124-113 overtime win against the San Antonio Spurs.

Harden's display guided the Brooklyn Nets to secure a ninth win in 10 matches and a first success on the road at San Antonio since 2002.

It was his seventh triple-double since moving from the Houston Rockets to join the Nets in January.

The Nets move second behind Eastern Conference leaders Philadelphia 76ers, who beat the Indiana Pacers 130-114.

Harden's former Houston team fell to their 12th consecutive defeat, their worst run since the 2001-02 season, as Collin Sexton poured in 39 points for the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 101-90 win.
