哈登拿下本賽季第16次三雙 帶領火箭擊敗騎士

James Harden and the Houston Rockets have shown at times this season that they could be title contenders. Lately, however, they've failed to rise to the occasion against the NBA's elite.

本賽季，詹姆斯·哈登和他的休斯頓火箭隊已經好幾次向我們展示出他們可以成爲總冠軍的競爭者。但是最近，他們在面對NBA中幾隻出色的球隊時並未展現出自己的實力。

That changed on Sunday night when Harden had a triple-double of 38 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds to outduel fellow MVP candidate LeBron James and lead the Rockets to a 117-112 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

不過這一切隨着週日晚上，在哈登拿下三雙--38分、11個助攻、10個籃板，力壓MVP候選競爭對手勒布朗·詹姆斯，帶領火箭隊以117比112擊敗克利夫蘭騎士隊之後，發生了改變。

"We beat Golden State. We beat San Antonio, but that was earlier," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We haven't had one (recently), so this was good. This will give us a little boost."

火箭隊主教練麥克·德安東尼表示：“我們打敗過金州勇士隊。我們打敗過聖安東尼奧馬刺隊，不過那是在很久之前了。最近我們沒有做到過，這樣也好。這將會給我們一點點激勵。”

It was the 16th triple-double this season for Harden and his 31st game with at least 30 points.

哈登在今天的比賽中拿下了個人本賽季的第16次三雙，並且這也是他第31場拿下至少30分。

"It's a big win for us, and it's time to begin preparing ourselves for postseason," Harden said. "Big win against the defending champs."

哈登表示：“對我們來說，這是一場重要的勝利，現在是時候開始爲季後賽做準備了。這是我們對陣衛冕冠軍的一場重要勝利。”

James had 30 points and Irving scored 28 for the Cavaliers, who lost for the fourth time in five games.

騎士隊的詹姆斯拿下了30分，歐文則拿下了28分，他們的騎士隊吃到了過去五場比賽中的第四場敗仗。

James lamented the fact that Houston got 20 offensive rebounds to just four by the Cavaliers.

詹姆斯對於火箭搶下了20個進攻籃板，而騎士隊只有4個這一事實感慨不已。

"They did a good job of crashing the glass," he said. "Obviously, if we got some of those we would have given ourselves a better chance to get the win, but we didn't."

他說道：“火箭隊在搶籃板上做得很出色。顯然，如果我們能多搶下幾個，我們就會擁有獲得勝利的機會，但是我們沒有做到。”
