6 years agoHouston Rockets guard James Harden looked to have been on his way towards his fifth 40-plus point outing on Monday when he scored 22 first-half points against Minnesota, but he was limited to only seven points after the break. He shot 8-for-17 from the field, including 3-for-7 from deep. Harden also had eight assists, four rebounds with two steals and one block in the game. The Rockets looked like a completely different team in the second half without Harden's scoring, so they should be aiming for a more complete performance on Thursday against the Jazz. Harden scored an efficient 29 points in 30 minutes against Utah in the first meeting of the season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
