The Nets defeated the Rockets, 145-142 tonight in overtime. James Harden led all scorers with 58 points (16-34 FG), to go along with 10 rebounds and 6 assists for the Rockets. This was Harden’s 2nd consecutive 55+ point game (Wilt Chamberlain was the last person to do so, Dec. 11 and Dec. 14, 1962).
Harden is now averaging 40+ points per game over his last 20 games, becoming the 5th player in NBA history to do so [W. Chamberlain (515 consecutive games), E. Baylor (33 consecutive games), K. Bryant (23 consecutive games) and R. Barry (22 consecutive games)].
Harden now has four 50+ point games this season and thirteen for his career, passing LeBron James for the most in a career among active players. Jarrett Allen tallied his first career 20-point/20-rebound game with 20 points (10-19 FG) and a career-high 24 rebounds to lead the Nets. With the win, the Nets improve to 23-23, while the Rockets fall to 25-19 on the season.

Harden can go off all he wants during the regular season. As long as he is too tired come post season and the rockets don’t win it all, I’m happy.

This was an overrated performance. No one is looking at his shit fg%. If you scored 58 points you shouldn’t be shooting 47% from the field.
