And the Beard Goes On

Written by: Donald Tolbert | SFL Sports Blogger 

After a rugged road game where he couldn't hit traffic if he were on I10 at 5pm. The beard laid to rest any worries about his so called shooting slump. Buckets were hard to come by for everyone on the floor except for the leader of the un-guard-able tour.

From the line, from behind the arch and at the rim, Harden was unstoppable!! With the rotation short due to Gordon, Shumpert and the Manimal out, the beard shouldered up, nearly topping his career high with 58pts. Harden came to play with another near triple double with 10 assists and 7 rebounds.

Harden made it look like standard operating procedure and to spectators it kinda looked that way. The beard brought them back from a 20 plus point deficit and his potna in crime Chris Paul helped him pull the Rockets over the finish line. Not to mention it on the second night of a back to back and P.J. Tucker was tossed in the second half.

 This was a much needed victory with OKC playing short handed against the 76ers tonight and a chance to gain ground in the West. With too many of those, "we shouldn't have lost that game" losses this year, it was good to see the Rockets pull this one out.
