Houston Rockets guard James Harden had his league leading scoring abilities on full display against the Kings, dropping a season-high 44 points in a hard fought overtime 113-109 road win.
“That was definitely a tough game,” Harden said. “Those guys on the other side definitely fought hard. We fought through it. That’s what we’ve been doing all year. It shouldn’t be a surprise we came away with this win.”
Harden on his overtime strategy:
“Attack, just attack,” Harden said of his overtime strategy. “I felt that was an opportunity. I didn’t really shoot the ball especially well in the first four quarters so my mindset was just to be aggressive. Be aggressive and you put the work in, it’s bound to pay off.”
The Rockets have made it a habit of winning close games this season and are 0-7 in games decided by five or fewer points.
