James Harden, already renowned for prolific stat lines at shooting guard, has taken matters to another level while manning the point. His 30 - point, 15 - assist double - double Wednesday was his second straight and third overall this season. Offseason acquisition Eric Gordon has proven to be the ideal complement, supplying a 21 - point effort of his own. Montrezl Harrell's 17 - point, 10 - rebound double - double off the bench also helped the Rockets to a sizable 54 - 34 rebounding edge overall. While the Knicks received a typically solid 21 - point outing from Carmelo Anthony, as well as matching 16 - point outings from the backcourt combo of Derrick Rose and Courtney Lee, they were clearly hurt by the lack of contributions from their frontcourt. Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah combined for just three points (all from the former) on 0 - of - 6 shooting and a modest 10 rebounds.
