James Harden Could Not Get Off Final Shot, Warriors Beat Rockets 99-98
By Ty Duffy
James Harden was mind-blowing for about 47 minutes and 50 seconds. The last 10 seconds? Not so much. Harden gives up the ball, accepts it back and can’t get the final shot off past a double team. His 38-9-9 (on 21 shots) performance goes for naught. Warriors hung on 99-98 and take a 2-0 lead.
Hard to kneecap Harden in the open floor, but Kevin McHale, with hindsight, will be second guessed for not calling a timeout.
