James Harden scored 60 points to reach the mark for the fourth time in his career, as the Houston Rockets steamrolled the visiting Atlanta Hawks 158-111 on Saturday night.

Harden made 16 of 24 field-goal attempts — the fewest ever in a 60-point game — including 8 of 14 from 3-point range, and connected on 20 of 23 free-throw attempts. He played just 31 minutes due to the one-sided contest and fell one point shy of his career high of 61, accomplished twice. Harden’s fourth 60-point outing ties for third in NBA history with Michael Jordan. Only Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant have more.

Harden, who also had eight assists, became the fourth player to score 50 or more points on 20 occasions, trailing Chamberlain , Jordan and Bryant .Harrison Barnes scored four of his game-high 30 points in succession to put Sacramento in front in overtime, and Buddy Hield hit two late free throws to help the hosts, after a furious fourth-quarter rally, earn a victory over Denver.

But the Nuggets, losing for the first time after six straight victories, didn’t score again until Harris dropped in two free throws with 14.9 seconds remaining following two free throws and a short-range hoop by Barnes that helped put the Kings on top. Hield’s clinching foul shots came with 9.5 seconds left.Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 26 points in just 20 minutes of action, leading nine Milwaukee players in double figures in the team’s 11th straight win, a rout over visiting Charlotte.
