But ladies and gentlemen, one thing we must remember is that the Houston Rockets have one of the most prolific scorers the league has ever seen and James Harden truly proved that claim in this match up.

James Harden came out of the ball game with a massive left hand slam posterizing Javale Mcgee and flexing to the ground as everyone should FEAR THE BEARD! Boy did i laugh. Lebron James came out every impressive as well trying to develop some momentum for the Lakers but the 4th quarter is where the Houston Rockets took over and solidified the must needed win against the L.A. Lakers. James Harden hit two massive threes from very deep to extend the Rockets lead to 118-108 creating to much of a gap for the Lakers to mount any sort of comeback and gave Houston there 13th win of the season.
