James Harden has all of the court vision
Despite being one of the most disappointing teams in the league, the Houston Rockets remain in the thick of things in the Western Conference playoff picture. They beat Phoenix Thursday night, thanks in part to 17 points, nine boards and six assists from James Harden. One of his six dimes was this beauty to a cutting Corey Brewer (via @HoustonRockets):
Anthony Davis remains good at basketball
The Pelicans are another team that has disappointed so far this season, but at least they still have Anthony Davis (via @NBA):

Langston Galloway scoffs at dizziness
The Knicks lost to the Pistons Thursday night, but staged a furious second half comeback to make it competitive late.

Archie Goodwin has RANGE
The Suns lost again, but, on the bright side, former Kentucky standout Archie Goodwin has been impressive since being inserted into the starting lineup. He’s been so impressive that he’s even hitting buzzer-beating threes off the wrong foot (via @LoveShaq):
