The reigning MVP is finally back in form and scoring at will like his good old self providing great entertainment for NBA fans after returning from a minor injury. The Beard showed no remorse in the match up against the Indiana Pacers dropping a massive 40 points (9-20 FG) 8 which were threes haha!, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block demonstrating exactly why we all love the great Beard. Who scores 40 points hitting 9 field goals and 8 of them field goals are threes with 14-15 from the free throw line. That's right, James Harden does and it's just awesome to see!

The Beard's performance gave the Houston Rockets the 115-103 win with Chris Paul aiding the rockets with a stat line of 26 points (8-13 FG), 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals displaying great production from the veteran point guard and helping the Rockets get a much needed win at home. Victor Oladipo played a decent game trying to counteract the flow that the Houston Rockets had throughout the contest. The young superstar dropped 22 points (7-24 FG), 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals displaying a poor shooting performance but made up for it on his efforts overall nearly clinching a triple-double.

Next the Houston Rockets face the Denver Nuggets which should be a showdown in the West as the Nuggets have emerged as a new powerhouse which should prove to be a great contest. The Indiana Pacers next face the Miami Heat which should prove to be an interesting contest but Indiana look like the stronger side this season but who knows!
