    David Fizdale let out a sigh of disgust when he was asked if he was pleased with his New York Knicks holding James Harden to 26 points.

    Well, not quite.

    "No, he toyed with us," the Knicks coach said after a 120-96 loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday night. "He did an MVP (performance) and toyed with us. He scored when he wanted to score and passed when he wanted to pass. But that's what greatness does to young players."

    Harden had a relatively quiet night, adding eight assists and eight rebounds to go along with his 26 points in just 29 minutes. He didn't play in the fourth quarter.

    For Harden, it wasn't nearly as spectacular as his last game against the Knicks when he tied a career high by scoring 61 points in a 114-110 win at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 23. Harden entered Friday averaging 43 points per game in his last three games against New York.
