Hardin
James Harden continued his streak and led the Houston Rockets to a landslide victory over his Atlanta Hawks 158-111, by scoring sixty points within 31 minutes Saturday, in the NBA.
Hardin achieved this figure despite sitting for the last quarter on the bench, after his team ended the third quarter with a lead at 127-73, and was only one point away from his personal record (61).
Hardin, who scored 16 of his 24 attempts - including eight from outside the bow and twenty out of 23 free throws and also added eight decisive passes - became the fourth player to score fifty or more points in twenty occasions, behind legends Wilt Chamberlain (118 times) and Michael Jordan (31) And Cuban Bryant (25).
It is also the fourth time that Harden has reached the point of sixty points or more during his career, tying Jordan in third place behind Chamberlain (32 times) and Bryant (six times).
"This is greatness in itself. I am trying to reach the level of these people (Chamberlain, Jordan, and Bryant). I hope - when I put an end to my career - that my name will be mentioned among this group forever," he said.
