The rockets are currently 17-2 when James Harden scores 40 or more points in a game, and one of those losses was the Spurs game with the "missed" dunk. When he scores less than 30, the rockets are 8-10. We all know that we can only go as far as Harden takes us but this stat is more extreme than I was expecting.
Harden’s last 10 games 31.6/7.5/7.7 and 3.5 TOs 44/37/90 splits .634 TS on 20 shots per game Season long 35.2/6.4/7.4 and 4.4 TOs 44/36/87 splits .622 TS on 24 shots per game He’s quite clearly back to his old self. Pretty wicked slump, but even with that slump his season long numbers are all time level.
Unbelievable but unsurprising. Even the most vehement of Harden haters realize that Rockets go as Harden goes. The smart ones anyway. If Rockets fans want to win a championship, pray for Harden's continued good health.
Warren became the fifth player in NBA history to hit nine 3s and nine 2-point field goals in a game, joining James Harden (who has done it four times), Damian Lillard (twice) and Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry (once each).
