The Houston Rockets started off their six game road trip with a match-up against the Washington Wizards at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. Despite the Wizards playing without star guard John Wall, who is out for the year, the Rockets needed every second on the clock to steal this game. Not only that, the Rockets needed the brilliance of James Harden, who entered the game averaging 29.3 points on 27 percent from the field and a measly 15 percent from deep.
It was only going to be a matter of time before Harden got rolling, and he did it in a major way against the Wizards, as he posted an NBA-best 59 points on a blistering 56.
