James Harden reaches 30 points for 20th consecutive game
PHILADELPHIA -- Houston Rockets guard James Harden reached 30 points for the 20th consecutive game Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Harden, who last failed to reach the 30-point threshold when he scored 29 points against the Portland Trail Blazers on Dec. 11, hit a pair of free throws at the 6:56 mark of the third quarter to get to 30 in the game -- though the Rockets were already trailing by over 20 points in a game Philadelphia has had control of throughout.
He finished the third quarter with 37 points -- three short of reaching the 40-point mark for a fourth consecutive game. He already had a stretch of five-straight 40-point games earlier this season.
