Earlier this week, the Atlanta Hawks faced off against the Houston Rockets and James Harden, as usual, was able to score 30+ points against the Hawks.
By scoring those points, that meant Harden had scored at least 30 points against every team this season. Wow.
While that is a wild stat, perhaps the most notable highlight came when Harden made one of the Atlanta Hawks’ best defenders, Kent Bazemore, look silly as he drove to the basket:
The Beard is one of the toughest covers in the league, as any defender will attest, and even a disciplined and talented defensive player like Baze will get clobbered off the dribble by such a skilled tactician sometimes.
