James Harden scored 47 points, including a dagger three-pointer with 13 seconds left to lift the Houston Rockets to a hard-fought 102-97 victory over the Utah Jazz.
In addition to his big night scoring, The Beard also went for 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals, as he scored 46 percent of all of Houston’s points. He’s now averaged 39.5 points during Houston’s four-game win streak that has the team finally back above .500, and he’s playing at as high of a level as any point we’ve seen him.
The Rockets also played some rough and tumble defense, keeping the Jazz under 100 points and also holding them to 39 percent shooting.
