The streak began in mid-December when he scored 50 points in the win against the Los Angeles Lakers and stayed alive for more than two months, eventually ending when he scored 28 points, falling two points shy of his 33rd straight game of 30 or more points, against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Rockets were (12-14) and without several key players due to injuries when Harden decided to take over and when the streak ended, their record was 35-25 which shows how crucial this stretch had been for them.

His 32 straight games of 30 or more points is the second longest streak in NBA history, behind Wilt Chamberlain's 65-game streak.
