James Harden Posts Triple-Double; Rockets Beat Cavaliers 117-113

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James took flight for an emphatic dunk late in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center, but Houston guard James Harden had the last laugh. 

Harden posted a triple-double, and he led all scorers with 35 points en route to guiding the Rockets to a 117-113 victory. 

The 28-year-old accumulated a game-high 13 assists and posted 11 rebounds in the winning effort, but one could argue his best "pass" of the evening was an air-ball putback by teammate Clint Capela with under 11 seconds remaining to give the hosts a four-point advantage they held until the clock expired. 

Harden was both good and lucky against the Cavs on Thursday.
