Harden's Triple Double Leads Rockets Past Timberwolves

Harden played a very impressive game yesterday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Most people see James Harden as just a pure scorer but he is also a good passer. James Harden does what he usually does each game by putting the team on his back. But last night Harden did more then just put his team on his back he had a career night. This was James Harden's first ever triple double.

James Harden had 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Not only did he have a triple double but he also almost shook Ricky Rubio out of his shoes and made him fall. What made  it worse was not only did he make Rubio fall and embarrass him Harden hit the step back three to make matters worse. Bet Ricky Rubio will think twice when going to guard James Harden on defense next time they play. The Rockets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-102.

James Harden is playing on a MVP type level this season. With Dwight Howard being injured he has still kept the team playing at high level. The Houston Rockets sits at the 3rd seed in the stacked Western Conference with a record of 38-18. Only behind Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors. When Dwight Howard comes back they could upset a lot of teams in the playoffs and make it to the NBA Finals.
