4:33 hooked up by hardin harden nice move and an easy layup 4:40 the shot itself it's developing the confidence to take the shot james harden flips it up and in 4:47 [Applause] [Music] and an easy bucket for hard i'm 4:53 surprised perfect example of what the best the nba has to offer the type of man he is the type of teammate he is 4:59 as hard knocks down the three to watch how improved they are how hard they play 5:06 i just love what they're doing with their roster getting tough guys there as hard makes them 5:14 james harden gets inside makes the contact and flips it 5:19 it was in no call and then irving hit the three-pointer and it's backed [Applause] 5:27 by the net to get back pardon with the finish the rockets have 5:33 missed eight of their first nine threes butler takes the challenge defending hardman who buries the throne 5:40 first triple heat ahead by 32 and over five minutes left in the first half that was too easy for hart 5:45 he just scooted gork harten into the paint puts it in and 5:52 harden with eight seconds left in the head the step back three wow 6:00 back on the road for them i think he's gonna play him through the end of the quarter as starters and just see if he 6:06 can generate any kind of a little physical with harden and he's doing a nice job of forcing him into 6:12 some tough shots that's a tough shot i mean there's not move martin just does get to it shot lock 6:17 about to go off though uses the capella screen leans in 6:22 guterres also out there before the grizzlies has this kyle anderson aka 6:28 slo-mo hardin started 6:40 grizzlies that was just their 11th free throw attempt harden off the window hard with anderson 6:47 on his hip pocket it's his own miss goes back over him scores you see how hard he's playing his 6:52 right hand very strong because he won't come back to the left side not not a ton of lift either barney with 6:58 the left counted martin a long one good 7:06 house off his fingertips luckily harding got it back shoots the quarter three 7:11 even three-point game approaching four minutes play at the third barn on his way into 7:16 the paint floated it up and over come on the rockets trying to add

phoenix suns are playing so well this year he's been a big surprise 36:53 harding with the right hands martin on the rookie pulls back shoots 37:00 over the outstretched arms and sticks it in climbed the back of rivers who wanted to call no whistle 37:06 then harden right down broadway harding again on the rookie 37:11 pulls back fires this one a little no no no no no no 37:20 by the way james

nothing is sparkling and one 37:50 and i'm gonna try to chance to jinx them like the rockets did in houston two for one hard and coast to coast 37:56 94 got all that space for hard to drive 38:02 so he'll shoot the three instead number five [Applause] 38:10 still with it goes in to beat 38:17 again shot clocks winding down the heave for for a few years they're going to be 38:23 good now they're the youngest team in the league in terms of average age can it be three straight oh it can't yes 38:32 it steps back there it goes and there it goes back to take away the 38:38 alley-oop hardened

right now and that does not make sense at all oh 39:01 what a conversion by 16 after one martin gets it back he's wide open 39:07 and it goes through 39:12 hard by barnes and that should be a goaltender have anybody on him he can 39:17 shot it himself he'll shoot for three and that's 11 consecutive 39:23 currently a 22-4 run for the rockets as they have this 23-point lead their 39:28

44:02 and hardin will fire up a three he's just unbelievable hardin working against a pretty good defender 44:09 and josh richardson but harden victimizes a lot of good defenders like 44:18 as horford hits another jump shot 44:23 on a minimum deal hardened from way deep got it and couldn't make them 44:30 pay but they get the offensive rebound harden all day got it 44:37 and back comes hard harden on the drive gets it 44:43 analytically one of the best low post defenders in the league and pretty good and gordon 44:50 pulls it out to harden [Music] [Applause] harden all the way to the cup with the 44:55 right hand leading by 13 on an 11 to nothing run harden mismatch on horford 45:04 [Applause] 45:14 well they need to start getting it because he keeps building it embiid still on the bench

45:41 philadelphia at home cabela had 30 and 14 boards against the sixers 45:46 hardened from the wings nothing he's a knockdown shooter as well and again all the best to gary clark 45:52 harding down the baseline to the [Music] barn again pulls back lets it go and it 45:59 goes in oh and the all-time scoring list put up 25 000 46:04 plus points hard steps left it go shooting in the mid 40s and limited 46:10 opportunities from three this year for the hawks oh my goodness now you see him oh look they've gone two and two 46:16 but they've played very well hardy coast to coast you can't stop the guy especially for a 46:22 guy and click capella has been dealing with a heel bruise rockets turn the hawks over and it's hardened leaking out 46:27 after they had the big lead and they started to take tough shots and it came back to haunt them 46:33 here's hart good this time and that's you know trey young practices 46:38 with that line on the floor so he knows how deep that is 46:45 kept alive beautifully done by hulk and tucker very effective at taking oh 46:51 yes the charge here's heart from three marvin chris when i spoke with coach donovan he was so 46:57 adamant about not letting james harden get to the free-throw line he was critical eyes right now is on coach d'antoni he 47:04 is frustrated with the referees wondering will he get a technical just to get one in the time but harden stand coach calm 47:10 down i know they're not going to take the games away in the regular season they're just going to hold a turn 47:15 [Applause] still only a 32 3-point shooter which is not bad hardin 47:24 gets played opportunistic basketball and the rockets that's the only way they're going to get back into the game 47:30 harden with a three wiggins crossover by james hey he's coming alive 47:38 now [Music] 47:43 martin steps back and fires that's what he's done 47:48 it's always been that way harden puts it up at the buzzer [Applause] 47:54 [Music] step back by james 48:04 harden fires it up oh man watch out eric gordon has a 48:09 fixture in that six-man roll for the rock with a foul line jumper puts it in 48:14 and allows moran to take off the finish little bit of matador defense here he's hard 48:20 his step-back gun is in immediately that's where they go 48:25 step back three by harden puts it in and his ability to score the confidence that he's played with 48:31 allows him to play with anyone on this team as james harden yes he does valentine's three or four 48:37 hart crosses over got all the way to the top on milton cross him up 48:46 gonna drive gonna loop and gonna add two more points to the box grayson allen and hart 48:54 buries the three pardon against melton it's four on the shot clock hard 49:01 hangs and hits four rebounds on shooting splits of 50 49:06 40 83. they've made 30 assists a matter of 49:11 habit shot clock down to three hardness step back jaron avoiding the foul and hardening drops into tripling this winning streak 49:18 the grizzlies have been the best second half team in the league runner 33 tonight for the grizzlies this 49:26 is their fourth game of a season-long six [Applause] 49:32 [Music] 49:38 first night of a back-to-back it's the fifth time he sat one out and this game began 49:45 back door cut by harden and a good dime by looking like deshawn watson on that one 49:51 hardened driving gets the layup and one block for capela who averages just under 49:57 two per game harden step back that's good great pointer for heart 50:05 harden scoots inside floats it up and in 50:10 arden's got a one on two drives at caruso and lays it in gets the bounce not just 50:17 straight numbers and like mark said tonight huge impact 50:22 as harden gets to the again harden rushing it up hard goes right at pusma and able to 50:29 finish very up and down but frank bobo's thrilled with the way he's been playing 50:34 lately and james harden knocks down who's master slow start has had a good 50:40 game hardened to the rim count it and we know that he could put 50:46 up points there's a backdoor cut [Applause] [Music] under two minutes to go and what has 50:51 been a thunder control first quarter and it's hardened again that time rockets missed their last six shots 50:57 somebody got to step up and hit it there goes james to the basket that helps that's one way to get a 5 for 14 behind 51:04 the arc for okc hardin a couple of euro steps 51:10 they backed it up in college this year and the college numbers are down a little bit 51:16 harden to the basket for two [Applause] dork will try to stop the beard 51:23 can he make his last shot yes he can [Music] harden again playing one-on-one not 51:30 anymore it's one-on-one upset about that 51:37 [Music] [Applause] 51:42 [Music] [Applause] [Music] 51:49 harden with the step back there we go just five on monday and he's shooting 33 but he's a big time scorer 51:57 defense by houston and the pass ahead to hardin and he got it 52:04 pretty good defense by denver oh what a move by heart you can hang a wash on that shot 52:12 arden they left him 52:18 [Applause] [Music] 52:25 attacking and finishing hard and right on cue coast to coast 52:32 and if you come down houston was able to build that double-digit lead with westbrook and harding on the bench 52:37 harding able to get to the bucket high level right 216 consecutive games played as 52:44 harden gets to the rim center should be able to get daniel house's three-point shot correct we've seen that 52:50 hard right at caleb what about this gun [Laughter] 52:56 hard fourth there you go kept alive by westbrook back to hardin a 53:03 quick three great hard 53:09 to the rim and one 53:14 hardin step back three from the corner and he's on the board captain jackson [Music] 53:23 hardin drills at three that looks 53:29 james hart able to hit again so arden goes between two mavericks missed 53:35 it tipped it in and then he goes on to have that magnificent fourth quarter listen i think he's everything we 53:41 anticipated in incredible physicals with a nice play defensively gets the steal 53:47 and slams at hall he's over curry that time and rivers has the ball 53:53 drive by harden in the open floor takes it himself 54:01 right he should have rocked the cradle [Music] harden for third had lost the ball got 54:08 it back though and now westbrook has it hart from the corner and another 54:16 hardin with a step back three over ball got it first field goal for heart 54:21 but you have to obviously give up something to get somebody like anthony davis james harden to the rim counter six long 54:28 good instincts like they can be tough harden another layup and another foul is gone 54:38 picked up by ingram going one on one for three and harden hits it he's got zion playing just his sixth 54:46 nba game hardin for three another one for james harden his third 54:55 hardin drives his foul and scores with the right hand off the win but he's six of nine today from the 55:00 floor three of six from three-point land he'll try another three and get it 55:06 12 shots five seconds to go in the half defended by josh hart step back three you bet five three 55:15 you look at the remaining number of games as the hardin drills a three 55:21 he's been consistent every game and you know what's coming post up trying to get to the left hand 55:27 and you know it shows you on occasion that he can be good defensively 55:32 we know he's pretty good offensively that was a beautiful week and they did play a seven-footer for about five minutes 55:39 but they have a chance to go to three-and-oh with this small lineup as they want to run 55:45 hardy steps back and fires and hits [Applause] [Music] 55:53 big euro steps all right rockets can get a little closer right here 55:58 there's harden all the way to the bucket [Music] 56:05 get to the basket he does and scores easily eight on the shot clock james 56:13 check out that defense is glued to him and he makes it count it and martin gets a step 56:21 hardens to the middle lays it up in there harden step back fires pj's down on the 56:30 floor he takes it away what a basket 56:35 back outside to harden again shot clock at eight seconds harden crossover back up hits it 56:44 five seconds on the shot clock hardened deep oh count it in the game his speed it 56:49 doesn't matter how you play if you can't stop him going to the hole and how about that hard inventor's chest 56:55 being that you're six four [Music] [Applause] 57:01 [Music] 57:10 enough 57:17 one step at a time and there's step two after the previous basket 57:26 [Music] and scoring his first pass and the sun's 57:31 actually up to nine turnovers for the game two in a row for james hard to cool off 57:38 eventually they were one they're one of four from three in the corner and james hart i 57:45 think with the expanded teams in the league and i think the roster has been at 12 for a very long time it's hardened 57:51 now james harden to strip it rockets were down 48 to 26. 57:57 oh is he feeling it now it was a 60 to 55 game then the sun scored 58:02 the last five of the first half and then hart scores the first three of the third half of those eight 58:12 and make it five threes to go hit a lot of threes in that game and 58:18 hard flies right by also from daniel house go out there and challenge that shot oh good drive by james seems to always 58:26 be around the basketball robert james free from town to go and they go to 58:33 school four years before [Applause] 58:41 o'rourke trying to guard him can't do it o'neal i mean right on top of it 58:48 here's james going to the basket walks it right in for two [Music] [Applause] [Music] 58:55 james going through two defenders lays it up and in over him 59:02 and harden walks it in for two o'neill trying to pick up james james hooks it 59:07 up and misses got his own rebound information for him now 17 points off the bench for clarkson 59:14 here's james from the elbow trying to get in a little closer that shot was unbelievable yeah clarkson is 59:20 now 11 for 17. he's feeling it james finally hits configure that how you put that into 59:27 context is what we're dealing with right now with this oh the confidence that he exudes has gotten 59:34 him to that all-star type level step back three for hardin is true beat it is when he throws it out the double 59:40 team make a quick play either drive it or pass it you'll have the advantage against the defense or the night when he didn't have 59:46 to and he'll learn shot clock is a factor now as jane puts it up in hand 59:52 did a better job of rotating the basketball and the ball moves faster able to get that shot in the corner hard 59:58 answers for a team who's to say that it doesn't have a chance to make an impact 1:00:03 all right another step back three this time with smart automate james harden that's six seven shot clock at four 1:00:10 smart on hardin hardin fires up at three and he's got another one looks with confidence 1:00:16 [Applause] harden got another one 1:00:22 being feisty on the defensive end making it a little bit uncomfortable 1:00:28 for the celtics this evening man let's do it just what you've always wanted always want rick smith's food james 1:00:35 harden knocks the first shot reggie for the warriors now this and we talked to steve kerr before the game 27 games left because arden 1:00:42 knocks down his heart pascal gets by with the right 1:00:49 hand the awful game against phoenix two wednesdays ago prior to the all-star break 1:01:05 [Applause] 60s night here at chase center of the night from the field and a four-point lead 1:01:12 hardin puts his shoulder into bok donovich the tap for two that three now the switch between house and covington was 1:01:19 not a clean switch hardened for three and the rockets have the lead they're burning as he spent the 1:01:24 last couple of years with the pacers bart dancing on clarkson steps right shoots and scores against golden state 1:01:32 24 and a half minutes 17 points six of eight shooting at four five for three as hard but 1:01:38 i'll take your word for it hard to pull back three wow they're a minute to go 1:01:45 [Applause] harden through two defenders hoop and 1:01:50 harm [Music] it is not tied at 69. 1:02:00 pull back three wow james hard with 20. oh deal a terrific defensive player oh 1:02:07 they backed off a hard and don't do that biggest lead for either team here is at nine hard splits it drives it euro steps and 1:02:15 on the other side have you come up with a new name we have not we're still working okay 1:02:22 30. wow so close [Applause] 1:02:28 covington tips it over to hart martin give and go to the basket to the 1:02:35 lineup for houston hardin with the step back i think he's 1:02:41 the point shooter he's gonna have to work on his jumper in order to improve in the nba 1:02:47 well that was a rude awakening bobby portis put that up 1:02:54 oh what a move by [Applause] hardin back in with fresh legs huh and 1:03:02 you know he's excited to be knocking down those shots here in his hometown yeah hard little finger 1:03:11 harden side step three got it so let's see if he targets him 1:03:18 oh well he doesn't have to no more good defense who's running there's harden again going 1:03:26 to the basket for two traveling he would get a call or two every now and then on it but 1:03:33 harden a game that's ten points for bobby off the bench 1:03:40 there's just no way the defense the way they're scoring now the future looks bright harden going to 1:03:48 the basket they have this third quarter well neither team has been putting it in the hole here in the second half there's harden all the way 1:03:54 to the basket and he backs out good job by the knicks and hardin comes right back at him again 1:04:00 for two and one you look at the body types of harden and tucker westbrook 1:04:06 hardin got all the way to the bucket for the late dylan brooks often taking on the team's other leading scorer or wing 1:04:13 player and that's a big daunting houston they got a four on two covington 1:04:21 hardin was looking for the switch brooks able to stay with him brooks didn't foul but hardin got the 1:04:26 three coach you got to give me more playing time because in my country in greece i'm tracy mcgrady he hadn't gathered the 1:04:34 ball yet so it's on the floor he gathered it now i 1:04:40 at the team's uh practice facility i was an outstanding kickball player 1:04:45 there's some extra shots out here to be had he's shot the ball 23 times tonight 1:04:50 and hardy something like this there's not a lot of plays to 1:04:56 learn you can play exceptionally well as harden once again is leading the league 1:05:01 in foul shot attempts and foul shot makes over 10 a game and he gets that three to go coach 1:05:07 with two martin working against ocean nice sin right there that's the group 1:05:13 and one of potential martin with under two minutes to go here in the first half 1:05:19 over smart yes harden with under two minutes to go here in the first half 1:05:26 over smart yes not allowing the celtics to get a good look at the rim hardin for the lead 1:05:34 butter talk about tatum's offense defensively he's improved as well harden got all the 1:05:41 way to the cop cornell aquina and just checked in a few minutes ago hard blows pass throws it up shots good 1:05:48 that's that's the notch pretty good defense by knox he gets it back and still scores 1:05:55 this is a rockets team that just played a terrific game in boston the other night hardin flips it up and in that's more 1:06:02 hard like right 1:06:09 finally gets a three-pointer of the rebound [Applause] 1:06:14 ellington to reach in 1:06:24 [Applause] the past nine years the rockets have come into new york and won hard fouled shots good and won 1:06:33 westbrook up top hard left open and nails the three that's just lack of focus 1:06:39 they swing it shot clock to three hardened with the drive 1:06:46 the open they can go really really small they're also undefeated in games when everybody's helping 1:06:52 the problem with that is they're not you would love to have them on your team and coach d'antoni said tonight one of my 1:06:57 favorite players and speaking of favorite players switching everything which allows them 1:07:02 to zone up the hot offensive man it was a nice shot off balance just 1:07:09 flipped it up first back off for mcdaniel seven hornets with the strength 1:07:18 now starting three-point shot he's gonna have a really nice career he was really struggling as hard as able 1:07:24 to lay it up and then going into is on the bench it's like a blame game oh game 1:07:31 mcdory if you want to play you better bring your own gear 1:07:37 in the nba and the only reason i'm bringing up to you is those played more games in a hornet's uniform than you 1:07:44 far away from a quadruple double he's sitting on eight turnovers 1:07:50 [Music] four for rozier washington's added 22. 1:07:56 hard now with her on the floor but they just light up instantly look at ease when speaking about their daughters and their wives 1:08:03 what they mean to them it's definitely special kelvin sampson has really built a great program there at the university of 1:08:09 houston yeah houston beat memphis today and tulsa lost 1:08:16 arden now when he goes to the basket uncontested answer that question michael carter williams with an air ball 1:08:23 something he did several times in houston james four points that's an area that assistant coach 1:08:29 benning told me the team needs to focus on they have to take care of the ball they went on that six-game winning 1:08:34 streak everything seemed to be clicking for them throughout the month of february 1:08:40 contested they're not getting any easy shots there's one this has got to go down yes and the last 1:08:46 game was their worst from the three-point line oh great move by hardin and that was set up with the pick from 1:08:57 hardin great move [Applause] and he knows how to play 1:09:04 the beard gets right by his man at the three-point line 1:09:09 jeff green in the corner will wait for hart to shoot it and he hits it takes his man away from the double-team 1:09:16 possibility now harden gets a free lane to the bucket he has the tesla comes right back steals 1:09:22 it that'll give harden a layup 1:09:27 try to drive on him he'll take the three all right hardin off the bench 1:09:35 covington goes to the basket so does james and james hit the offense almost double team so covington gets out 1:09:42 of there hart with a long three and he hits it a couple to give up all the way back to heart now with six 1:09:49 on the shot clock oh james harden puts the old cap hardened on the move 1:09:56 there's that patented euro step and he gets it to go luca got ripped by tucker rockets have a 1:10:02 three on two and harden finishes at the bottom and poked or whatever it is they have to go through 1:10:09 that's not something you want to miss or sleep on as harden gets slipped on able to put it on the 1:10:14 deck james harden with another step back three caught 1:10:20 those international players jerseys oh wow and here i'm gonna do one for you are you ready 1:10:25 yes jj and hardin with 20 points already in the ball game in the first quarter 1:10:31 why not 23. he is hotter than fit 1:10:37 seven second difference between the shot clock and game clock hardin and one on his he put porzingis in the 1:10:43 friend zone on that block hardin drives gets it to full coverage 1:10:49 this time doris luca hanging around though didn't matter 1:10:56 cardboard rivers shot clock at six hardened with the floater got it as 1:11:03 right with his first three has five [Applause] hardened with the drive shank they were 1:11:11 like okay somebody make a shot wow a deep three is good harden coming back the other way 1:11:20 got all the way to the basket and finishes with the off head date doris his effort at both ends hardened fouled 1:11:27 and won over if you're the rockets that's the shot you're willing to give him 1:11:33 james harden flips it up shots good and the foul mclemore little euro step bank shot 1:11:39 won't go but tips this is a one point game i know we talk about a make or miss league it's also a 1:11:45 make a missed call hardin for three three points i'm jumping around walking the golf 1:11:51 course if i hear something in the bush hardin count it and the second field 1:11:58 goal for korver hardin for three just his third three 1:12:10 [Applause] houston doesn't panic about those things 1:12:15 because right now the blazers are not finishing with great 1:12:21 success if he can catch that thing with his feet kind of on that restricted area line 1:12:27 i think that's an automatic too hardened 1:12:34 hardin able to knife through the paint and see harden kicks it out to tucker tucker with a patented corner three 1:12:40 that's a little too long hardened with the put seven minutes left 1:12:45 in this third quarter blazers still with their starting five same thing with the rockets james harden though you can do that gotta set the defense 1:12:51 westbrook tries to push the pace hard trails though puts it on the deck nurkic tries to reach hard gets the land 1:13:00 now has davis on him with a shot clock at six and a three here comes hardin averaging 34 points a 1:13:06 game they'll dance and back up and put enough another 1:13:12 with the lakers having won three championships with uh the lakers nice to have a fan base like 1:13:18 that tucker takes the floor he plays with that desperation and it shows look at the drive by harden school 1:13:25 in the night anyone but let me tell you this at that eight spot if it ends up as 1:13:30 james harden gets all the way to the bigger heavier and times more talented players and he 1:13:36 gets the jump jump wow three to play in the second quarter 1:13:41 this is dude 1:13:46 here comes harden green is there meets dudley to pump the drive and glides for a nice fake by james 1:13:56 lakers trying to swarm defensively three 1:14:02 and there's smith right there jr's on him harden goes by him and got it to go 1:14:08 pretty pockets turnover right there by the lakers hardin will take it step back triple 1:14:13 morris defends bullseye nine unanswered points after giving up the first triple 1:14:19 the rockets oh nice push great roller they found a real rhythm with him but 1:14:25 now you set up everybody oh block knocked out of the hands of harrison barnes king's turn it 1:14:31 over give covington credit there for poking that away there's harden on the wing and he drains the earlier the only one that's 1:14:37 able to get inside and break down and get in the paint of houston to the move by heart 1:14:43 and the finish around and down seven of 21 on distance 1:14:51 oh there's the strength again point quarter number three game number five of eight for the kings arden with a familiar 1:15:00 step back on the familiar and covington pokes it away and he ends up with a sloppy basketball hardened with a 1:15:06 two-hand flush 1:15:13 [Applause] move on the defensive end field now four of eight from downtown there's harden going to 1:15:20 answer back and he does 1:15:25 oh boy oh boy hesitation move 1:15:31 aaron and justin on the team for indiana there's james he just continued [Applause] 1:15:37 all right what's the defense going to be on harden this time as he steps back and fires and he hits bad shot if you're a houston rocket 1:15:43 although the indiana pacers still want their guys to take those james with his eighth rebound of the game floats it 1:15:49 up look at the touch side good job by eric [Applause] 1:15:54 james sets and fires and hits cast on a three turns it inside for the drive now passes 1:16:01 outside which gives james a wide open look now that's 1:16:07 i knew you'd get that in and there's james and that's his first three of the game 1:16:13 he's one for eight james hits a three got that good first 1:16:18 step and he gets you in that rocking chair move and rocks you back and then he can get that easy 15-footer there's 1:16:24 james what an acro and he won 85 indiana look at that space for james to drive 1:16:29 and he does lays it up and in great maybe he just wants to get back and fish 1:16:36 gene oh apparently so does he end smoking no it's been great james still 1:16:43 in the game and he hits a three he has more 40-point games then he has games with less than 20. and he's got another 1:16:51 three simmons has got it to green again out to harden hardened on the drive 1:16:58 puts it up and in and it's a takes on all comers on the defensive end of the floor 1:17:05 harris trying to stay with harden he does whistle val to the free-throw line quite 1:17:10 a bit too harden quick trigger three man this is 1:17:16 almost without russell he can take it up to do it yourself as he does here pardon with that steel 1:17:22 going under five minutes to go nice back door cut by harden and a sweet 1:17:28 per game hardin squeezes off a bunch 1:17:34 and he makes a book the rockets have really been priding themselves on their defense in these seating games their 1:17:39 defensive efficiency had ranked them in the top five here that's egregious 1:17:46 you get it then james harden gets it left it short on the run out james harden against 1:17:52 embiid and then he just let him go steal jeff green on the move 1:17:58 kicks it back out for three and that's the way the rockets play backwards 1:18:03 kalinari is there shot clock down to three hard and pulls the trigger and hits 1:18:08 it's in the paint at 15 again so he's their pace and their attack on 1:18:14 the rim harden and loading up their defense ready to come to help harden again breaking him down and 1:18:22 they've cut it to 13. thunder out of fouls harden goes right around schroeder 1:18:29 oklahoma city's offense back in gear here comes hardin gets his defender on his heels again 1:18:35 points in the second half so he'll get a much deserved breather here harden quick trigger three 1:18:41 tonight stand shooting 79 percent from the field harden got it your team is shea gilders 1:18:48 alexander is one of 13 guys in the league who scores 10 points a gamer 1:18:54 team with seven minutes to go 29 points for galinari that was his second three of the night 1:19:00 but harden had one player movement can do to get you better shots and we haven't seen much of that out of the oklahoma 1:19:06 city thunder tonight the rare chance that we stand in our country and of course cp3 right at the forefront of 1:19:12 that group no questions harden pretty driving off performance by this team 1:19:19 you're 12 for green his heart goes right down no call on that pass and crash that was 1:19:24 not a foul and i'm glad the officials didn't whistle james harden puts down his foot 1:19:30 schroeder comes back out on james james going to his left can't stop it 1:19:37 and he does [Applause] james takes it to the basket for two 1:19:43 he's so strong he just look at adams try to cheat i like this shot right here you're right on top of 1:19:49 it in your living room went for a flop that's 57 235 left to play james over schroeder 1:19:57 yes oh and the money five out that the rockets play offensively harden 1:20:03 it's switched on to shake hill just alexander the drive-by and late consistently great defense by 1:20:09 the rockets harden with the euro step and reverse come on that's to utah for 1:20:15 more on these games go to nba.com or visit the nba app hardened inside off glass 1:20:21 the thunder really off to a poor start two of 14. hardin put harden has a mismatch against 1:20:30 adams little euro step wow james harden 1:20:36 against oklahoma city [Applause] oh harden loves his defender shaken 1:20:43 playing off your defense playing with pace exactly what billy was exhorting you to do 1:20:49 harden ducks into the layup for the rockets 1:20:55 harden with the three and that's his first one of the night stay with chris paul lost the control 1:21:01 harden on the break count it and harden trying to find his rhythm 1:21:09 step back three just the way he drew it up right they are cheating and helping off of him 1:21:15 with good reason hardened with the three got it [Applause] 1:21:25 hardened pulling his way to the pub doesn't work you got to kind of get him on the move dump it down to him and then use his 1:21:31 height to an mba and you can take advantage if you can play size 1:21:36 and harden is open with a couple triple back then jacksonville orlando ontario arizona state g-league and 1:21:43 playoffs now and jeff green 1:21:49 and that toss back to hardin he's not going to miss those hard door tucker banging and bumping 1:21:57 harding down the lane oh what a finish martin went for the reach hardin with the take harden with a 1:22:02 breakout and finish unfortunately that big body of adams is 1:22:07 right inside to tap it in james harden lasering in at three and feron 1:22:13 you know he's on the rockets battling in the third so the rockets 1:22:20 that incredible beginning to the half from three-point land and harden to your point getting to the 1:22:26 door who's been tasked with guarding him all night and hard right to the rim and houston's got 1:22:32 the lead again try to get it in the hands of james harden eventually there is harden quickly turns 1:22:38 around puts up the three and it is jazz in oklahoma city lost his footing they get it out to covington 1:22:43 now to harden with tend to shoot harden goes right down the paint covington can get out on him and knocks 1:22:49 down the three hard in the attack and a tough floater bowl competing for 1:22:56 that championship once again but now there's just a new resolve to keep social justice in the forefront 1:23:02 of their minds as well guys this has been the story so far poor shooting by the thunder three of 1:23:07 18. harden right down broadway right into his chest offensive rebound tucker 1:23:16 harden left got it lou dort rolling to the rim on pick and rolls 1:23:22 since then we heard rebecca tell us his hardened squares up on a three and hits badly needed check a presence that is 1:23:29 unmatched that he has so much energy that you really miss him when he's gone right now he's certainly showing that 1:23:36 presence happy with their spacing on several possessions in the first half 1:23:41 hardin was highly efficient in the first half and that continues as much as they like lou dort 1:23:47 defensively they just could not function offensively with him on the 1:23:52 floor and they're having a hard time going offensively for them no and for shea gill just alexander it's 1:23:59 been a nightmare of a night they're attacking him half this team getting closer to a win 1:24:06 yeah they've just exploited matchups at both ends and but right now he's even going it's been a 1:24:11 remarkable to watch him operate both on and off the court here such meaningful moments as harden puts 1:24:17 one off the backboard and then and one [Applause] harden crafty all the way in easy for 1:24:25 james harden nice harden taking it all the way baisley 1:24:31 autumn no contest james harden every night when you match up against the houston rockets 1:24:36 so far so good here's hardin for three that's his first hit of that russell westbrook 1:24:42 [Applause] here's harden now across the lane scores at the rim 1:24:47 you know you have to love that to be able to trust the the best skill is availability all tied at 46 and 1:24:54 harden with the spin westbrook crosses over kicks it ball movement for houston now it's 1:25:00 hardened all the way in untouched james schroeder picking up hardin 1:25:05 nearly at the half court line working on adam's easy for james harden 1:25:11 they only make 11. they have six now so this is right on schedule for them 1:25:17 harden for three he's got it just crept over the front of the rim it's changed the game and who'd have 1:25:23 thought as harden goes to the hole to score it who'd have thought it would have rendered 1:25:28 up their closing lineup the three-point guards with galindari and adams 1:25:34 step back for harden three-point hit for james harden that's a big one i lou dort dorada's done a nice job on him 1:25:41 and he got the stop but harden got the put back to go on the offensive board would have 18 1:25:46 points with a little under five minutes to go and i mean that respectfully you're right you're right i 1:25:52 don't even think now westbrook taking exception on the floater bounced a couple of times and 1:25:58 went in harden working against dort got into the 1:26:05 pain and finished [Applause] 1:26:15 and a tough shot over javale mcgee blocks the three-point potential game winning shot 1:26:21 in traffic that time over action since march uh mark and frank vogel said he was ready to return 1:26:27 versus the blazers but his back just locked up so it's been over a week since he was a lady 1:26:33 very talkative very demonstrative like another coach on the floor and james hart they've had a long time off mark they've 1:26:39 played since last saturday whistle foul and one full team james harden just 1:26:45 randomly this time danny green trying to do it caruso blocking 1:26:52 guzma going to have his hands full here harden with the three 1:26:58 no double team shot clock down to two just got it off in time and justin's up 1:27:04 to 15 points on six of nine and another block but 1:27:09 this one's gonna be great anticipation by hardin 1:27:14 and he had to punch that in or else [Applause] 1:27:22 harden floater in the paint contact block and one had to leave the bubble 1:27:29 earlier in july when they first got here because of the passengers grandma 1:27:35 draymond green recently tweeted if houston takes this series it's going to hurt the value of the big man even more davis prefers to play 1:27:44 the power forward as hardin draws the foul shots good and one there's the strength of harden one on 1:27:50 one with anthony davis little step back three got it james harden from downtown 1:27:56 [Applause] 74-68 kuzma's got six points james 1:28:01 harden drills another three-pointer [Applause] harden step back three that's good frank 1:28:09 vogel various to eight with a minute to play ten points nine assists for rondo 1:28:16 harden using the off hand banks at him turnover los angeles harden all the way 1:28:22 in too easy sent from three on the year making a couple a game he shot over 38 percent 1:28:28 from three here in the playoffs james he's caught it deep in the post as we 1:28:34 saw in transition he's hit threes and now he's hit a mid range boy hardin goes 1:28:39 right by jay seven los angeles turnovers at this point finally an escape and harden with the 1:28:46 floater caruso on him and he finds hard wide open boy how do you leave james harden 1:28:52 that open a couple of injured players on the other end westbrook gets it to harden hardened all the way in for the layout 1:28:59 all up high you've got to wait until the ball gets to the wing to be fronting too easy james harden all 1:29:06 game harden goes to the rack hardin throws it off the backboard gets his own puts it 1:29:12 back by does he's got 31 first points of the third quarter for lebron 1:29:17 hardin for an answer yes turnover like that here's hard now on the drive hardened 1:29:24 all the way in shooting the fact that they only have 12 attempts 1:29:30 is a mark of great laker defense also points per game in the three games of 1:29:35 this series scored 25 plus during the regular year as 1:29:40 hard and 15 to nothing on second chance points you got to run back and block 1:29:46 somebody out there's a three-pointer covington 1:29:51 but that's two times harden is driven without shooting that's a third drive 1:29:56 and he shot ones they'll sit and either one of them played a second in game four hardened drives good move a good 1:30:02 aggressive move from covington 1:30:07 hardin tries again this time cadets that's his first defensive player to deflection green throws it up shot blocked by kuzma 1:30:14 but right there on the follow was hardened harden 1:30:20 step back three that's good rattles home that's his second that's on the floor but from the bench 1:30:26 yeah i i i agree with marcus harden with uh a gravy 1:30:34 goes right that james lay-up is good james already with two fouls [Applause] 1:30:41 on the drive hardin with the finish he's got 21. 1:30:48 the floaters up and good james harden rivers drives blocked by davis harden 1:30:53 right there on the follow 867th lakers in control once again hardin 1:30:58 looking to post up danny green james conversation that's

He will NEVER win. He's arrogant. Not a champion etc etc. Now we're seeing luka doncic play the exact identical same way but he is a media darling, he has an amazing future, will win championships, blah blah blah. I wonder why!
