SAN ANTONIO -- James Harden had a slam dunk waved off by officials, the first sign that it might not be the Houston Rockets' night.

It was one of those nights that no matter what you do and force anything when its not meant to its not going to happen. That is the case for James Harden and the Houston Rockets as they lose to Coach Pops and the Spurs.


Harden had a dominating night again in scoring after dropping 50 points after just scoring 60 points against the Hawks a few days ago. If that 60 points was easy to get then this 50 is as hard as it could be, the fact that Harden only made 4 out of 20 treys speaks for itself.

Harden played a season-high 49 minutes coming off a 60-point outing Saturday over three quarters against Atlanta, but he was whistled for two charges in the second overtime. The second came against DeMar DeRozan with 0.8 seconds remaining, sealing San Antonio's victory.

But let's not forget that Lonnie Walker IV is the star for this game scoring his career high 28 points also an efficient three point shooting knocking down 4 out of 7 tries. Walker also bullying the defense with 3 steals and a single block, that goes to show you can still make a change even coming off the bench.


Russell Westbrook took too much shot after a shooting slump making only 7 out of 30 field goal attempts. Tho he still recorded a 19 point triple-double with 10 boards and 10 dimes.


It is still in review of what the committees will decide on the Harden's no dunk count issue.
