James Harden lit up the San Antonio Spurs for 61 points on Friday, matching his career high as well as the Houston Rockets' franchise record in a 111-105 victory.
Harden also scored 61 on Jan. 23 against the New York Knicks. He joins Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan as the only players with multiple 60-point games in a season in NBA history.
The Spurs collectively shook their heads in exasperation, while the body language of the Rockets reflected awe.
Even Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni tilted his head from side to side, paused a second and stroked his chin during the postgame news conference as he pondered what he'd just witnessed.
