James Harden scores 27 points on 2-of-9 shooting
No, there's no mistake in this headline.
In his team's 100-92 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, Rockets shooting guard James Harden actually scored 27 points on 2-of-9 shooting.
You're probably now asking yourself how many free throws Harden shot during the game. And the answer to that would be 25, of which he sank 22.
This kind of thing doesn't happen every day. In fact, Harden's performance has smashed a record or two.
Via @eliassports James Harden's 27 points are the most in a game in NBA history by a player who made 2 or fewer field goals.
