The Orlando Magic built a 15-point lead in the third quarter, but James Harden’s heroics down the stretch turned the NBA 2018-19 Regular Season game around. The Houston Rockets prevailed on Sunday overcoming Nikola Vucevic’s monster double-double.
The 28-year-old Montenegrin scored 19 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in 34 minutes. He added five assists, two steals and one block to his impressive tally, but wasn’t enough for the visitors at the Toyota Center.
His 33rd double-double of the season improved his position among the 2018-19 leaders. Vucevic is now fifth behind Rudy Gobert (41), Joel Embiid (40), Andre Drummond (37) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (34).
