Video Highlights of James Harden's 47-Point Eruption in Rockets Win vs. Jazz

The Houston Rockets needed every one of James Harden's 47 points to pick up a 102-97 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday.

Harden's final three-pointer helped ice the game away with 13.3 seconds remaining.

Four days after dropping 50 on the Los Angeles Lakers, Harden was nearly unstoppable once again. He didn't have a great night shooting (14-of-31 from the field and 4-of-12 from beyond the arc) but got to the foul line 16 times, knocking down 15 free throws.

"I say it all the time: He's the best offensive player I've ever seen," Rockets point guard Chris Paul said of Harden, per ESPN.com's Tim MacMahon.

The reigning MVP rounded out his night with six rebounds, five assists and five steals.

At 15-14, the Rockets have fallen well short of expectations so far. As the team leader and Houston's best player, Harden is somewhat culpable for that.

If he can continue playing at this kind of level, though, then the Rockets should get their season back on track in no time.
