    Harden just becomes the first player to play less than 30 minutes in a game and get a triple-double with at least 25 points according to bbref: https://www.basketball-reference.co...&c2comp=lt&c2val=32&is_trp_dbl=Y&order_by=pts

    I know the above link searches by the total minutes played in a game, so probably someone else(or Harden himself) has got a 25+ points triple-double in less than 30 minutes and keeps playing. Still, it's very impressive, after all, it's not just a 25 points triple-double, it's a 40+ points triple-double.

    Harden now holds the record for fastest 30+, 40+, 50+ and 60+ points triple-double.

    Your query only seems to search this year's games, doesn't it?

    I know Harden has 40, 50 and 60, but do you have a reference for 30?

    Yeah I think Jokic has the fastest 30 point trip dub

    Feel like WB would have done it under 30 as well.

    Still, the framing should be - the only player to have a 25+ point tribble double with less than 30 minutes played.

    Instead of - fastest 25 point+ triple double

    PJ Tucker with a box out that would put Steven Adams to shame. Damn near forced Harden to get that rebound.

    In the post game interview PJ Tucker said he wanted dinner and a movie for that box out. Harden was told and said he could have anything he wants: dinner, movie, trip to Europe

    Westbrook’s Highlander sense went into overdrive when Harden made the triple dub.

    Definitely the only 40pt trip dub in less than 30 minutes of total minutes.

    ​

    Yes, Jokic reached 25pts in 27:46, but kept playing to reach the 30pt trip dub (but at around 31 minutes). In that game last year, he recording the fastest trip dub ever, too, at 14:33.

    I arrived at 27:46 for his 25th point by reading the PbP at bballref. Easy to just subtract from end of game. He played until 36 seconds remaining, and score 25 at 6:37 left in 4th.

    MDA told James he only had 3 quarters to do whatever.

    Harden made the necessary adjustment for his time restraint.
