With the NBA trade deadline fast approaching, the Rockets acquired rookie power forward Thomas Robinson, the fifth overall pick in last year's draft, from the Kings earlier tonight (per Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports).
Meanwhile, James Harden, Robinson's new teammate, had a career night against the team that traded him to Houston before the season began.
Despite trailing by 14 points around midway through the fourth quarter, the Rockets mounted a comeback and beat the Thunder by three, 122-119.
In the process, Harden scored a career-high 46 points. He set his previous career high against the Hawks in his second game as a Rocket.
Not only was he 14 of 19 from the field, Harden made seven of eight three-pointers and 11 of 12 free throws. On top of his great shooting night, Harden added eight rebounds, six assists, a steal and a blocked shot.
