When it comes to scoring, Rockets guard James Harden has done it all this season. He’s averaging a league-leading 35.9 points per game, practically walking away with this season’s scoring title months ago. He also scored at least 30 points in 32 consecutive games, joining Wilt Chamberlain as the only players with such a streak.
Harden has seen almost every defensive scheme from every team around the league, but no one can seem to hold him under 30 points, except for the Atlanta Hawks. Coming into Tuesday’s game in Atlanta, The Beard had scored at least 30 points against every team in the NBA except for the Hawks.
