Caticlan, Malay, Aklan – Former league MVP James Harden once again delivered an offensive juggernaut, scoring 60 points in 31 minutes of action to lead the Houston Rockets in thrashing the Atlanta Hawks 158-111 on Saturday night (Sunday morning, Philippine time) at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Harden shot 16-for-24 from the field, including 8-for-14 from deep, to go along with 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. He also made 20 of his 23 attempts at the charity stripe.
