    Thats an instant classic play in Rockets history ... not quite Dream on John Starks level of importance, but considering the slander associated with Hardens defense this was monumental. I couldnt believe it when I saw it .. he closed out FAST and man he got up there. James was blocking Dort all game. Add to that ELITE post/paint defense and its funny to hear people now try to attack his offense!!!

    ONE OF THE GOATS!!!

    It wasn't just the block that was impressive by Harden.

    Rewind a few seconds and you'll see Harden splits Adams and Dort, as PJ moves up to SGA.

    If Harden goes to Dort a split second earlier, then Adams is wide open at the basket and we lose.

    If Harden goes a split second later, Dort gets the 3 off and we live with the consequences of a guy who was hot all night.

    Hardens timing was perfect!
