James Harden was chosen once again, of course, to represent the Houston Rockets in the All-Star Game this season. He is in the midst of yet another MVP-caliber year and was rewarded as a starter for Team LeBron in tonight’s game.
While it was nice to see him out there, Rockets fans were also looking for him to be cautious as he is dealing with a slight shoulder injury. It showed a bit in his game tonight, as the Beard shot exclusively from behind the arc and didn’t really attempt to do much else.
Stats-wise, Harden ended up with 12 points on 4/13 shooting from deep and ended up with the highest plus-minus of all the starters at +8.
