James Harden didn't have much to say after he surpassed 20,000 points on Saturday in Houston's blowout win over Minnesota. “It's a great accomplishment obviously," he said. “I have a bigger picture and bigger goals but it's pretty cool." Teammate and longtime friend Russell Westbrook, who also played in the game when Harden got the first points of his NBA career, was much more effusive in his comments about the milestone. “To be able to do that on a very, very high level is something we don't take for granted," Westbrook said. “Growing up in L.A. and being able to see him progress over the years to me is just a blessing to see as his friend and I'm truly happy for him.” Harden scored 32 points in three quarters to help the Rockets roll to the 139-109 victory. read more https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401161219
