HOUSTON — Asked what he hoped to see from James Harden Monday night, 76ers coach Doc Rivers jokingly said a “triple-double.”
Harden didn’t produce one in his first game back from a strained tendon in his right foot. He actually looke rusty in the Sixers’ 132-123 double-overtime loss the Houston Rickets at the Toyota Center.
The loss to struggling Rockets (6-17) dropped the Sixers to 12-12. They also went winless during their three-game road trip with stops in Cleveland, Memphis and here in H-Town.
