“I just took what the defense gave me,” Harden said. “Same shots, just made some. Nothing really changed, man. I made some shots. That’s I mean, obviously that’s a game changer. But [I was] just being aggressive.”
“We’re getting more confident as the series goes on,” he added.Â
“Those first two games [were] a blur. But obviously, having Joel and having our full team, we kind of know what to expect.

“We know where to execute on both ends of the ball. It just makes the job a lot easier. Think about: We’re still a fairly new team. We’re damn near two months. So when we finally catch a rhythm and finally find something that works, Joel goes off for a couple games.
“So we’re finally settling into the series, and we’ve had some great things that have worked tonight and that we can capitalize off in Game 5.”
