We all know how capable James Harden of the Houston Rockets can be on the offensive end and he’s almost unstoppable, especially, when he gets his groove on. And on Monday night, the Pacers were abused by Harden’s offensive prowess.
Harden was just a point away from tying his career high (46), as he led the Rockets to a 110-98 victory by scorching the Pacers with 45 points while shooting 12 of 18 from the field and knocked down 7 three-pointers as well. This explosion from him was clearly too much for the Pacers to handle.
With these kinds of performances from Harden, it certainly puts him into consideration for this season’s MVP race.
