Not only did Harden score 60 points himself, he was responsible for 86 of the Rockets’ 114 points.
It’s the first 60-point triple-double in the 72-year history of the NBA.

Houston was without Eric Gordon and Chris Paul against Orlando, leaving Harden to shoulder the load. He did so in historic fashion to lead his team to a win.
