The bearded one reached this very unique record after a 32-point, 15-assist performance against the Washington Wizards on Monday. The Rockets came up on top 114-106, spoiling John Wall‘s milestone night, becoming the franchise’s all-time assists leader.
Harden also became the first player since Michael Jordan (1988-89) with 30 points and 10 assists in four straight games.
The 2014-15 MVP runner-up is making a bold case for his candidacy this year, but with the electric competition he’s against this season, the only way he will separate himself from the others is if his incredible numbers translate into wins for the Rockets.
James Harden is the only player in Rockets history to record 30 Pts and 15 Ast in a game.
He has done it 4 times. All coming this season. pic.twitter.com/cAm3hp53ma
