James Harden: Series win "just the beginning" for Houston Rockets

James Harden has insisted that beating the Dallas Mavericks in their first-round playoff series is "just the beginning" for the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets won game five 103-94 to secure a 4-1 series victory, giving them their first NBA playoff series win since 2009.

Harden, who finished as the team's top scorer with 28 points, told ESPN: "It's just the beginning. We've got bigger goals than this."

The Rockets will face the winner of the series between the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference semi-finals.
