NBA: 10 best games of James Harden's 2017-18 season

Houston Rockets v Dallas Mavericks
MVP frontrunner James Harden

#7 Against the Minnesota Timberwolves, 13th February 2018

Houston Rockets v Phoenix Suns

Stat line: 34 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 turnover on 50% shooting (6-of-10 on 3's)

The Minnesota Timberwolves eventually limped into the Playoffs, by winning their play-in game against the Nuggets, but before Jimmy Butler went down with an injury, they were competing quite hard for the 4th seed (the team was 35-24 before this game). The T-Wolves are also a team that plays better at home (30-11, 4th best in the league).

But again, that didn't matter to Harden and the Rockets. They rolled into Target Center and blew out the home team by 18 points. We are so used to Harden putting up some insane double-double numbers but 34 points and 13 assists is ridiculous given the fact that the team also has a premier guard in Chris Paul (played 33 minutes) alongside him.

It shows how much he has the ball in their offense and how well he took care of it, committing just 1 turnover.
