    Grinded it out somehow. Harden's the MVP.

    Jesus Christ Harden is turning into the best Rocket in franchise history. What he's doing is mind blowing. Yes I love Dream, but with James I almost feel certain that rings will come.

    James Edward Harden Jr folks ... enjoy him while you can.

    One of the best games in Harden's career.

    He actually played pretty good defense in this game.

    So glad Rockets won! What a game for Harden! Another triple double, MVP for sure!
    Let's get another win over Nuggets in 48 hours time! :)

    Espaced. Denver did us a great favour missing all those free throws.

    On the positive side, we hit just 20% from 3PT and still beat one of the better teams on an away b2b.

    Prior to this season, no one in NBA history had had more than three 40-10-10 games in a career.

    Harden has now done this seven times in a season.

    *edit: modern NBA history per B-R, I'm not sure about Wilt

    Another MVP-like game from Harden. He put the team on his back in the 3rd quarter and brought the Rockets home in the 4th.

    another QUALITY triple-double.

    Nene trying to take MVP(b) from Bev. This dude is ultra valuable.

    To only go 5-24 from three (20.8%) and still score 109 points and win is pretty impressive on a back to back game.

    Wouldn't expect that for a team that supposedly lives and dies by the three. Getting 28 points from the foul line helped a lot.

    Without Harden, this team would have lost by 50. He carried the team today. The team was 2/16 from the three point line. SMH

    Gutsy win. This reminds me of our December streak, even when the threes weren't falling they found a way to win. Rebounding was great and the superior FT shooting iced it.

    Denver went like 50% from the line in the 2nd half, they would've easily won this game if they didn't suddenly bricked every free throw

    How many more games is Harden going to have to carry until the rest of the team gets their heads out of their asses?

    First win of the season when we hit less than 10 3pters.

    Denver made a terrible decision for not pairing the manimal or Plumlee with Jokic to pound it inside but instead taking those long jumpers. Both of our C are in foul troubles, Mike Malone is indeed a bad coach.
