James Harden had a triple-double for the Brooklyn Nets in his first return to Houston to play against his former team as the Nets topped the Rockets 132-114.

Harden, who was traded to the Nets on January 14, had 29 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists. He got a mixed reception from the reduced capacity crowd of 3,615, with some boos when he was first introduced, but also cheers as the Rockets played a video showing some of the highlights of his eight seasons with Houston.
