James Harden used to dice defenses in Phoenix with regularity in his near-decade leading the Houston Rockets. His previously presumed heir apparent pulled off a pretty impressive impression over the weekend.
Houston guard Jalen Green tallied 68 points across a pair of contests against the Suns on Thursday and Saturday, a 1-1 stretch for Houston in which Green buried 13 of 29 shots from beyond the arc. The 34 points each evening tell just a picture of Green's performance out west. Green scrapped with Phoenix guard Bradley Beal on Saturday night, then let out a delightful NSFW assertion after burying his fifth three of the evening.
