#1 James Harden\'s 45 points, Corey Brewer\'s rainbow three
The exit of Hall of Famer Kevin Mchale and the entrance of JB Bickerstaff proved talismanic for the floundering Rockets, who broke the spell to notch up their first win after four straight losses.
Big man Dwight Howard collected 19 boards but the star of the night, not surprisingly, was “The Beard”, James Harden, who had 45 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists. Numbers aside, props must be laid down before Corey Brewer, without whose nonchalant, rainbow three-pointer the game wouldn’t have been forced into overtime and the Rockets wouldn’t have been able to break their streak.
