Owner Real Deal Posted January 3, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 HOUSTON -- When the shots weren't falling, James Harden helped the Houston Rockets find a new way to score. Harden had 31 points and seven assists to lead the Rockets to a 104-92 victory against the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night. When he couldn't find a rhythm from beyond the arc, Harden took to the paint, where he scored 16 of his points. For a team that ranks second only to New York in 3-pointers attempted and made, Houston outscored New Orleans 60-28 in the paint. "I think that shows the maturity that we're growing and that we're getting better," Harden said. "Sometimes our offense isn't on point, but we're finding ways to score." Harden has led the Rockets in scoring for 14 consecutive games, not including a Dec. 10 loss to San Antonio where he was sidelined with an ankle injury. He has posted 20-plus points in a career-best 14 consecutive games, second only to Kobe Bryant for the league's longest such streak this season. Omer Asik had 21 points and eight rebounds, and forward Patrick Patterson scored 13 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter and added nine rebounds in the game for the Rockets. Harden and Asik combined to score 18 of Houston's 25 third-quarter points.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20130102_NO@HOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
