James Harden greeted with boos, cheers, logs another triple-double in return to Houston

Six weeks after a blockbuster trade sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets, the nine-time All-Star made his return to Houston on Wednesday.

The Nets traveled to face the Houston Rockets, where Harden posted another triple-double, posting 29 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds in a 132-114 win. It marked his eighth triple-double since joining the Nets, leaving him four short of the single-season team record held by Jason Kidd. He needed just 23 games to get there.

Tribute, boos, cheers for Harden

Prior to the game, Harden was met with a tribute video from his former team and a limited crowd.
