The Houston Rockets defeated the New York Knicks , 129 - 122 , at Toyota Center on Saturday . This has been the year of the triple - double , but there has n't been a performance like this in quite some time . James Harden accumulated 53 points , 16 rebounds and 17 assists on the way to his best game of his career . His game carried this offense to some gaudy numbers too , as they recorded 30 assists and went 21 - of - 55 from three - point range . There were no ties and only one lead change , as the Rockets never relinquished the lead after the second quarter . New York ( 16 - 17 ) had to play this game extremely shorthanded and they did a good job of hanging around against a potent Houston attack . Kristaps Porzingis sat this game out with an Achilles injury and Carmelo Anthony had to depart early due to renewed knee soreness . That put Brandon Jennings in the starting lineup and he did n't disappoint , as he led the team with 32 points , five rebounds and seven assists . Derrick Rose also played well , accumulating 21 points , five rebounds and seven assists . Joakim Noah recorded a 15 - point , 16 - rebound double - double in the loss . On deck for the Knicks is a home matchup against the Orlando Magic on Monday . Houston ( 26 - 9 ) have gotten some unbelievable performances from James Harden this season , but this one tops them all . Harden finished the game with 53 points , 16 rebounds and 17 assists in the best game of his career . Ryan Anderson helped him get those assists up , as he was second on the team with 25 points and six rebounds on 8 - of - 12 shooting . Montrezl Harrell got a rare start at center and amassed 13 points , four rebounds and four assists on 6 - of - 7 shooting . They 'll look to keep rolling on Monday against the Washington Wizards . James Harden has posted some ridiculous numbers this season , but nothing compares to his night on Saturday . Harden accumulated 53 points , 16 rebounds and 17 assists in easily the best game of his career .
