6 years agoHouston Rockets guard James Harden had to carry the Rockets on Sunday with Chris Paul suspended and the team playing the second night of a back-to-back. Though Houston fell by three to the Clippers, Harden put 31 points on 11-for-26 shooting while adding 14 assists. He had four rebounds and a pair of steals as well. Houston will be without Paul for one more game, a Wednesday meeting with the Jazz as the Rockets continue their difficult start to the season. Expect Harden to once again be the focal point of the team against Utah.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
