James Harden's ridiculous scoring streak is over.
119-111 on Monday night. Houston overcame a career-high eight 3-pointers from Hawks rookie Trae Young, who put up 36 points. Harden returned after missing Saturday’s win over Golden State with a neck injury. His run of games with 30 or more points was the second-longest in NBA history behind a 65-game streak by Wilt Chamberlain. Harden, who said he was still bothered by the neck problem Monday morning, missed all 10 3-pointers he attempted. He got to 28 points with 23.
Young’s hot shooting continued after that when he made his seventh 3 to cut the lead to one again. Harden made four quick points later in the quarter, but Young was at it again after that, sinking his eighth 3-pointer to cut the lead to 107-102 with about five minutes left. Vince Carter got the Hawks within one with a 3-pointer later in the third quarter before Houston scored five quick points, capped by a basket from Harden to make it 82-76 with about four minutes left in the third.
