We all know James Harden is not considered a primetime performer, or a clutch one. Well, that didn’t change for the most part today during the Houston Rockets game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Harden finished 4-of-15 from the field and 1-of-9 from three. He had 17 points, 9 assists and 3 blocks, but, James Harden is should now be considered shot blocker or a defender?
Defense has been another key complaint by many NBA fans, while I have personally defended him. He has been better than people have given him credit for. Today he finally had his big moment in a big game, but it did come on defense.

He did admit after the game though, that he played like shit.

Overall this game was a thriller, with the Thunder hanging in all game. Chris Paul was clutch as usual, and proved that he was a legend today, despite the loss.

Good for the Rockets on winning today, even though Scott Foster was out to get them as usual.

Unfortunately, next up: the Los Angeles Lakers.
