James Harden News
Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 27 points with 10 assists, four rebounds, three triples, two steals, and a block in a 119-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings. It wasn't the best night by Harden's standards, though he made up for it by making all eight free throws and dishing out double-digit assists for the fifth time this year. The former MVP has somehow topped last year's scoring average with an absurd 38.5 points per game, thanks to increases in three-point attempts and made free throws. Harden will look to bust out of his December shooting slump against a bad Cleveland Cavaliers team on Wednesday.
Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden shot 8-for-27 overall and 3-for-17 from three-point range, yet still managed to finish with 34 points during Saturdays victory over the Phoenix Suns. Hardens 15-for-18 performance from the free-throw stripe aided the scoring, as he added six rebounds, four assists and three steals across his 39 minutes. Hardens offensive onslaught continues to see almost no bounds on a nightly basis as he rewrites many modern record books, even going without a turnover for the first time all season during the win. His next matchup comes Monday versus Sacramento, whom he averaged a gaudy 39 points per game against across four contests last season.
Houston Rockets guard James Harden was close to posting a new career record on Saturday, finishing a 158-111 win over Atlanta with 60 points. The Rockets had an incredible shooting night and thus Harden played only three quarters. He shot 16-for-24 from the field and 8-for-14 from deep while sinking 20 of 23 free throws. He also picked up eight assists, three steals, and a block. Harden now has four career 60-point games, which have him tied with Michael Jordan for third-most in NBA history. He's the only active player to post a 60-point performance more than once. The Rockets now head to San Antonio to take on the Spurs, who have been a mess defensively all season. It's another juicy matchup for the 2018 MVP.
