Xinhua, February 25, 2015 Adjust font size:

James Harden had 31 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Houston Rockets a 113-102 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.

"When I get my teammates confident to shoot their shots and be aggressive and get them in their rhythm, I can get into mine and that makes everything easy," Harden said.

"We tried to stop him, but he has confidence and he's playing so good right now," Wolves' guard Rubio said of Harden. "He's almost unstoppable."

Wiggins scored 30 and Kevin Martin added 21 for the Timberwolves, who lost for the third time in four games. Nikola Pekovic and Ricky Rubio finished with 16 and 14. Enditem
