James Harden obliterates Ricky Rubio’s ankles (video)
James Harden says see ya later to Ricky Rubio after a quick cross over and a step back three
In a Monday night blow out against the Minnesota Timberwolves, James Harden straight up embarrassed Ricky Rubio with a sweet cross over. Rubio found himself on the hardwood watching Harden make his next move.
As Rubio tried to stand back up and recover his pride that was shattered all over the floor, Harden put salt in the open wound and nailed a three.
Maybe Harden was dishing out a little bit of payback. Earlier in the game, standout rookie, Andrew Wiggins embarrassed Harden in transition.
After a little hesitation move that caused Harden to attempt a steal, Wiggins said see ya later and finished for an easy lay-up.
Harden would ultimately get the last laugh, though. He went on to put up his fourth ever triple-double as the Rockets won their 38th victory of the season in a 113-102 win.
The Rockets are hoping to see a lot more performances like this from Harden as they now enter the home-stretch of their season after the All-Star break concluded. Be on the lookout for a number of ankle-breaking highlights and huge numbers from Harden for the rest of the season.
