Rockets' James Harden: Records fourth triple-double of season Friday

Harden finished with 23 points (6-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 assists and 10 rebounds across 40 minutes in Friday's 117-104 win over the Kings.

Analysis:

It's Harden's 13th triple-double since joining the Rockets, putting him one shy of Hakeem Olajuwon for the franchise record. With four of those triple-doubles already coming this season, it shouldn't be long before Harden has that title to himself, especially if the Rockets continue to fire away with reckless abandon from deep. The team attempted an NBA-record 50 three-pointers in Friday's win, with Harden's playmaking abilities helping set up many of those looks.
