You have to wonder if James Harden gets tired of going it alone. And then you observe his style of play and notice the way it so often forces the rest of the Houston Rockets into the background, and you realize maybe Harden is fine with it.
He scored 33 points and handed out eight assists in Houston’s 122-106 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, tossing in eight turnovers in the process. The Rockets' next two top scorers (combined) didn't equal Harden's output, and only one, Michael Beasley, managed even half of his 23 field-goal attempts.
