James Harden drops 61 points as Rockets top Knicks
The Rockets' James Harden drives past the Knicks' Tim Hardaway Jr. at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.The two biggest questions came down to the final minutes — would James Harden smash Carmelo Anthony’s Madison Square Garden scoring record of 62 points? And could the Knicks pull off a miracle upset?
Neither happened Wednesday night, but it was a back-and-forth thriller nonetheless as Harden struck for 61 points, hit two key throws with 29.9 seconds left and the Rockets pulled it out 114-110 victory, giving the Knicks their 10th straight home loss.
Harden’s fastbreak bucket with 1 second left tied an opponent’s scoring record at the Garden that was set by Kobe Bryant in 2009.
