ESPN’s Tim MacMahon’s recent article depicting the Houston Rockets’ culture of catering to James Harden was a disingenuous character assassination.
The Houston Rockets completed their third preseason game on Tuesday, December 15th with a decisive 112-98 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. James Harden was finally able to make his preseason debut after registering 6 negative COVID-19 tests as part of league protocols.
With just one day to practice with his new teammates and coaching personnel, Harden registered 21 minutes and posted a stat line of 12 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds while shooting 30-percent from the field on 10 field goal attempts.
