Also, Harden was gassed. The man played arguably the best two-way half of his career in the first half of his game in order to bring them back from the early 12-0 hole. Just because his shot stopped falling in the 4th (same as, uh, Durant and Curry, this game) doesn’t mean that we should ignore the work he did prior…

I enjoy how every game in these conference finals is like a self-contained entity that has no relationship whatsoever to anything that came before or will come after, other than the simple fact the same people are involved. It’s like watching a Law and Order marathon.
