James Harden also played better, scoring 20 points with nine assists, as he continues to see the same kind of massive attention being paid to him that the Heat gave to Hawks star Trae Young in the first round. “They did a really good job of putting two on the ball and trying to deny me basically the entire court, so it was giving our guys more space to be aggressive if they’re going to deny me wherever I am on the court,” Harden said.
