The big story for the Houston Rockets heading into their game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night was the return of Dwight Howard after a 26-game absence.
Once the game got started, though, the story - as ever - was James Harden. Harden carved up the Pelicans' defense, leading the Rockets back from an early 15-point deficit and then stretching their lead with this vicious dunk over both Anthony Davis and Omer Asik.
