Once again, James Harden proved that he isn’t afraid to shoot the ball.
Harden dropped 49 points, and took a career-high 41 shots from the field, in Houston’s 125-105 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night at the Target Center.
More than half of his shots came from behind the arc, too, with Harden going 8-of-22 from the 3-point line and 16-of-41 overall. His 41 shot attempts marked the second-most in Rockets history, behind just Elvin Hayes in 1968, and it was just the fifth time in his career that he’s attempted at least 20 3-pointers in a single game.
