The Houston Rockets equaled the second best number in the history of the NBA by scoring 90 points in the first half, the same number that the Nuggets made against the Spurs in 1990 and only behind the 107 of the Phoenix Suns against the Denver themselves, only a week later of his record.
The guard James Harden returned to give an exhibition when obtaining 48 points, including 23 in the second quarter, and the Rockets of Houston overwhelmed (116-142) to the Suns of Phoenix. The Houston team scored 61 percent on field goals during the first 24 minutes of action. Along with Harden, who scored 12-22 field goals, including 6 of 11 triples, and 18-18 from the personnel line, another six Rockets players had double-digit numbers. Among them the base Chris Paul who played for the first time with the Rockets after having missed 14 games, and immediately responded with a double-double of 11 points and 10 assists, in addition to capturing four rebounds.
The anecdote of the night was when A Phoenix fan told Mike D'Antoni to sit down, they were already 40 points up. This, without thinking, he replied: "They are 25, you can not count."
