Facing elimination, Rockets bearded wonder James Harden came out swinging leading Houston to a Game 5 124-103 victory over the Clippers behind his triple-double effort of 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
“I’ve just been feeling a little down these last couple games. I’ll be all right.”We weren’t aggressive enough the first four games,” Harden said. “We were timid. They have really good bigs. We made a conscious effort to go into attack mode.”
The Rockets face elimination again on Thursday when the series shifts back to Los Angeles.
