HOUSTON -- The Rockets have lost two straight games for the first time this season despite James Harden becoming the first player in a decade to score 50-plus points in back-to-back games.
Harden finished with 51 points in the Rockets' 128-118 loss Friday night to the Los Angeles Clippers. Harden also had 51 points in Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The last player to have consecutive 50-point performance was Kobe Bryant, who had four in a row in March 2007.
Michael Jordan had three straight 50-point nights in April 1987.
