With the likes of Clint Capela and Chris Paul sidelined due to injury, James Harden has been forced to carry the Rockets on his back. The dude has been a one-man show, literally.
For proof, look no further than this ridiculous stat that was posted on Twitter:
Scoring 57 or more points in consecutive games is crazy enough. But having none of those buckets in either game assisted on? That’s just downright absurd!!!
Harden finished with 57 points during the Rockets’ 112-94 victory over the Grizzlies on Monday, and followed that up with 58 against the Nets during Wednesday’s 145-142 overtime loss.
Needless to say, Harden and the Rockets can’t get Chris Paul back in their lineup soon enough.
