ASU Basketball: James Harden becomes Rockets second all-time leading scorer

Former Arizona State guard James Harden is now the Houston Rockets second all-time leading scorer in franchise history, surpassing Calvin Murphy with a three-pointer in the first half of last night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Harden trails only the legendary Hakeem Olajuwon on the all-time list, as the former Devil has 17,977 points and counting.

In last night’s matchup against the Mavs in the Orlando NBA bubble, Harden went off, going for 49 points, eight assists, and nine rebounds on 14-20 shooting from the field. Harden also dropped in 18 points from the charity stripe in a 153-149 overtime victory.
