Harden, still looking limited by a hamstring injury, opened with two quick turnovers and several forced passes, but he eventually settled into an offensive rhythm. While Harden seemed to move carefully so as not to reaggravate his injury on both ends, he scored 14 first-half points with a mix of three-pointers and floaters. He couldn’t maintain his productivity as the game progressed, scoring just two points on a pair of free throws in the second half.
