The first quarter ended with the Houston Rockets leading the Spurs 36-24 at home.

Harden’s 27 points in the 1st quarter marked the second-most in a single quarter in franchise history — Vernon Maxwell scored 30 points in the 4th quarter vs. Cleveland on 1/26/91.

Harden has now scored 20 or more points in a single quarter six times this season.

I mean, HELLO BACK-TO-BACK MVP?!?

Fingers crossed that red-hot-Harden will give Houston the win over the Spurs.
