James Harden has set a new NBA scoring record.

The Houston Rockets guard is now the first player in history to score at least 30 points against all 29 opponents in a single season.

The 29-year-old completed the feat by scoring 31 points in his side's 121-105 win over the Atlanta Hawks.

It was the 48th time in 67 games this season that he has recorded 30 or more points.
