James Harden: ‘It’s pretty scary what we’re capable of’
James Harden shared the same sentiment of nearly all observers following the Houston Rockets’ Game 4 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.
The Rockets scored a ridiculous 50 points in the third quarter against Minnesota and won by a blowout 119-100. Keep in mind that it was a 1-point game at the half.
Harden, who had 36 points in the contest, said his Rockets hit a switch.
“We hit the switch — the switch that we’ve been trying to hit from the beginning of the playoffs. On both ends of the floor. It’s pretty scary what we’re capable of when defensively we’re locked in like that and offensively we’ve got it rolling,” Harden told TNT’s Kristen Ledlow.
That’s what everyone who was watching had in mind. Harden had 22 points in the first eight minutes of the third quarter, while he and Chris Paul combined for 37 in the quarter.
The Houston Rockets can be scary when they are on fire. They are Warriors-level scary.
