Rockets' James Harden: Rolls to triple-double in double-OT win over Warriors

Harden compiled 29 points (8-23 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 15 rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and one block across 46 minutes in Thursday's 132-127 double-overtime victory over the Warriors.

Analysis:

Harden's shooting efficiency has been on the decline of late, particularly from three-point range, but the point guard continues to fill out the stat sheet better than any player in the league not named Russell Westbrook. In addition to claiming his fourth triple-double of the season, Harden was money in crunch time, hitting a few key shots and free throws in the second overtime to help the Rockets to their most high-profile win of the season. His high usage rate should make his averages of 28.7 points, 12.0 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game fairly sustainable throughout the season.
