5 years agoHouston Rockets guard James Harden stepped up with Russell Westbrook having the night off as he scored 40 points and nearly recorded a triple-double in the win. Harden connected on 11 of 26 shooting overall and added four triples to go along with 12 assists, nine rebounds, and three steals while even chipping in a block in 40 minutes of action. He has been bothered with a sore right knee, but we know Harden is an Ironman, and it will take more to hold him out for an extended amount of time. Harden looks to be back and will look to provide another big line on Thursday against the Lakers.--Gianni Costantiello
