Harden becomes first Rocket with two 50-point games in one season

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored a career-high 51 points in Wednesday's 115-111 win over the Sacramento Kings to become the first player in franchise history with multiple 50-point games in the same season.

Harden had an incredible shooting night against one of the league's worst defensive teams, making 16 of his 25 field-goal attempts, eight of his nine three-point attempts and 11 of his 13 free-throw attempts.

He also added eight rebounds, six assists and three steals over 37 minutes and 33 seconds.
