James Harden continues to struggle, as he put up his worst game of the season. But no matter, Russell Westbrook showed us all why the Houston Rockets stepped up to trade for him, going for 45 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists in leading the good guys to a 131-124 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Russ also went 13-13 from the free throw line and shot zero attempts from three for the third time in the last four game in leading the Rockets to a 3-0 season series lead over Minnesota.
While it was good to come out of this road game with a win, The Beard kept up his recent issues by going just 3-13 from the field for a season-low 11 points to go with 4 rebounds, and 5 assists.
