Rockets: James Harden earns weekly honor again with improved defense

On Monday, it was announced that James Harden received his second Western Conference Player of the Week honor in as many weeks. The honor came as the result of another strong group of performances by the Houston Rockets as the team seems to have righted the ship after a rocky start to the season.

The Rockets went 4-0 during the week, extending their winning streak to seven, and Harden continued his torrid run by averaging 44.8 points, 6.8 assists, and 5.8 rebounds over the stretch. Moving into mid-November, Houston now sits second in the conference at 10-3.
