Jams Harden says high-flying Rockets focused on play, not 17-game win streak

MILWAUKEE -- After collecting their 17th straight win with Wednesday night's 110-99 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, James Harden says his Houston Rockets still aren't the team to beat, but they're in a comfortable place.

"Nah," the Rockets superstar said when asked if the team one game ahead of the Golden State Warriors should be considered title favorites. "I feel like we're just out there swaggin' and hoopin'."

Harden, the leading MVP candidate, is focused on his team's ability to create more good habits as it tries to lock down the number one seed in the Western Conference and an extra home game against the defending champion Warriors in a potential Western Conference finals showdown later this year.
