6 years agoHouston Rockets guard James Harden continued to roll on Monday, scoring 44 points in a 118-110 win over Phoenix. He shot 15-for-26 from the field, 5-for-13 from downtown and 9-for-11 from the line in what's his 20th game of the season with 40-plus points. Harden joined Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, and Rick Barry as the only players with 20 games of at least 40 points in the first 50 of a season. He also had eight rebounds, six assists, and three steals. Harden is closing in on the second-longest streak of scoring 30-plus points. He's on 27 games now ahead of Wednesday's tilt against Sacramento.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
