This was my favorite thing to watch in that first round series. You could really tell that Harden was locked in and focusing on that end of the court. A throwback to his 2018 NBA Season.
Harden's elite post defense is no longer a surprise to real basketball fans/experts but his perimeter and help defense are vastly improved as well. Harden is a legit 2 way superstar now. Leading NBA in scoring AND steals, not since Iverson and before him, MJ, has that been done. And no player, NONE, has led NBA in total points, total assists and total steals. https://www.basketballnetwork.net/t...den-led-the-nba-in-points-assists-and-steals/ Until James Harden.
