Harden scored 51 points and added 13 rebounds and 13 assists to lead the Rockets to a 123-118 victory over Joel Embiid and Philadelphia on Friday night.

Harden became the first player in league history with multiple 50-point triple-double performances in a single season. He scored 53 points and added 16 rebounds and 17 assists in a win over the Knicks on New Year's Eve.

There now have been three 50-point triple-doubles this season (Russell Westbrook has the other one) after there were just six in the first 70 seasons of the NBA.
