James Harden had a stellar performance in Game 3 versus the Boston Celtics. He scored a team-high 41 points and he dished out 10 assists in the process. Harden became the first Net to ever score 40 points and record 10 assists in a playoff game. Unfortunately for Harden and the Nets, it resulted in a loss despite him making history.
After the game Harden addressed the media and actually pointed out that this is good for the team.
As much obviously as we don’t want to lose, this is probably what’s good for us. Especially that last game, Game 2, we played so well. This was a reminder that things aren’t going to be so easy. As much as we wanted to come in here and get a win tonight, now we gotta lock back in and watch some film and continue to get better. Still this is our 10th game together.”
