Harden’s triple-double leads Rockets over Warriors in 2OT

Durant is averaging 4.9 assists per game so far this season, almost one above his career average, something that is incredibly significant considering he’s been able to get any look he wants at any time in Golden State’s offense, shooting a career high 44.2 percent.

Harden registered yet another triple-double, notching 29 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists in Thursday’s win.

Evan Fournier scored 28 points for the Magic, while Nikola Vucevic had 18 points and 11 rebounds. Lamb followed with a driving layup that resulted in a three-point play to push the lead to 86-78. K.J McDaniels and Nene were limited to 4 points each. Ryan Anderson was huge down the stretch of this game, hitting clutch shot after clutch shot to seemingly keep the Rockets alive.

At 16-2 with an.889 winning percentage, Golden State now is on pace to win 73 games this season.

Rockets: At Denver in the second game playing back-to-back nights. In the second quarter, it’d be an understatement to say the referees made their mark on this game.

The Golden State Warriors will have three days of rest prior to going up against the Houston Rockets. Golden State has held teams to a combined 22-for-86 shooting (25.6 percent) from beyond the arc over its past three games. Klay Thompson was 4 for 20, 3 of 13 on 3s, on the way to 15 points. Andre Iguodala led the Warriors bench with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. The thing that’s great about having Durant on your team is that while he’s a great isolation player and can regularly produce in such an offense, his stats only elevate when he plays on a team such as the Warriors.

If early errors did not doom the Warriors, they certain came back to haunt them late in regulation and in overtime.

Los Angeles took control with a 13-2 run to open the third quarter.

Can the Warriors limit James Harden? .

OAKLAND, Calif. – The Golden State Warriors were bested in their most entertaining game of the season, finally losing their grip, 132-127 to the Houston Rockets after 58 minutes of wild, record-breaking NBA basketball. Their second leading scorer is reigning two-time MVP Steph Curry with a 26.6 point average.

There won’t be a shortage of teams interested in the services of the Davidson alum, but we would be very surprised if he doesn’t stay with the Dubs.

Agree or Disagree with our predictions? Luckily, Coach Steve Kerr is a phenomenal basketball coach and knows exactly when to stick KD in a corner and when to let him loose.
