Harden lives at line in first 50-point game

James HardenScott Halleran/Getty ImagesJames Harden made 22-of-25 free throws on his way to a career-high 50 points.
Thursday was not a good college basketball day in the state of Texas, as all five Texas schools were eliminated from the NCAA tournament, the first time a state has lost five schools on a single day in Tournament history.
It was a much better day for professional basketball in Texas, as Rockets star James Hardentallied his first career 50-point game.
Making Rockets history
Harden became the first Rocket to score 50 points since Hakeem Olajuwon did so on Jan. 18, 1996.
The Rockets played 1,538 games between Olajuwon's 50-point game and Harden's, which, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, was the fourth-longest active streak of consecutive games without a 50-point scorer. Two of the teams ahead of Houston on that list, the Hornets and Grizzlies, have never had a 50-point scorer.
Elias also tells us Harden joins Olajuwon, Moses Malone and Elvin Hayes as the only players in Rockets franchise history to have a game with at least 50 points and 10 rebounds.
Harden breaks through
Harden had the most career 40-point games among players to never score 50 points, with 11 before finally breaking through on Thursday night, according to Elias. Next on that list are Chris Bosh and Russell Westbrook, both with 10.
For the season, Harden has now reached the 40-point mark seven times, tied with Westbrook for the most in the NBA.
By grabbing 10 boards, as well, Harden became the fifth guard in the past 30 seasons to rack up double-digit boards in a 50-point game. The others are Michael Jordan (eight times), Kobe Bryant(three), Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen.
Living at the line
Harden scored 22 of his 50 points at the charity stripe, making 22 of 25 free throws. Harden is the first player to make at least 20 free throws in a game since Harden himself did so on Dec. 26, 2013.
Harden made more free throws than the Nuggets attempted on Thursday and knocked down twice as many as the Nuggets made.
To further put into context Harden's crazy night at the line, his 22 made free throws are more than Rajon Rondo (21) has made all season.
