    I just read some crazy news about James Harden with the Houston Rockets. I guess he’s now the second player in history to have two games back to back with at least 10 3 pointers. That record was previously held alone by Stephen Curry with the Golden State Warriors. I wonder what Stephen Curry thinks about that.
