Nightly Recap- Jan. 15

Top Performances 

James Harden (Houston SG)- Recorded 31 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds in a 112-101 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Harden absolutely took over Thursday night, as he hit 9 of 15 shot attempts, including six 3-pointers. He continues to put up all kinds of numbers, and is leading Houston to big wins each and every night.

LeBron James (Cleveland SF)- Scored 36 points and hit four 3-pointers in a 109-102 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. James had his second strong game in a row, as Cleveland snapped their five-game losing streak. With Kevin Love battling back spasms, and Kyrie's inconsistent play, James will be counted on more than ever to carry the load for his hometown team as they push to get back into playoff contention.

Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles SG)- Finished with 19 points, 17 assists and seven rebounds in a 109-102 loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was a career-high in assists for Bryant, who continues to distribute the ball at a high rate, as he has dished out seven or more assists in six of his last seven games.

Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City SF)- Tallied 24 points and 10 rebounds in a 112-101 loss to the Houston Rockets. It was a quiet double-double for Durant, who only took 12 shots (8-12 FG) in the loss. However, he continues to score at an efficient rate for the Thunder, and It is safe to say he is back to 100% heading forward.

Play of the Night

Houston Rockets' guard James Harden showcased his speed and athleticism by splitting the Thunder defense for the slam dunk Thursday night. Harden cut in between Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka before throwing down a left-handed slam in a 112-101 win for the Rockets.
