Rockets guard James Harden matched his career high of 35 shot attempts on Saturday, the seventh time this season he has put up at least 30 shots and fifth time in the past three weeks. Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, however, said he has no issue with his top scorer shooting so often.
"They're good shots," D'Antoni said. "He's our best shooter and all of them are good shots. That's the beauty of the team. Whoever's open is going to shoot. It doesn't matter. Austin (Rivers) starts off with the hot hand. He got the ball all kinds of times.
