Harden sent the Rockets home to Houston leading this best-of-seven series 3-1 after a stunning third-quarter blitz that approached the historical. Leading by just one point at halftime, the Rockets scored 50 points in that third quarter alone, one shy of the NBA’s all-time playoff record for a quarter. And Harden scored 22 of them to send reeling a Wolves team that had defended with such effort in the first half. He finished by scoring 36 points on 12-for-26 shooting after he missed his first seven shots Monday. He missed his first seven shots of the game, then flipped it after halftime and made seven of his first 12 shots in the third quarter.
