Sun Devil vs. Sun Devil: Luguentz Dort impresses against James Harden in first NBA start

There are currently three former Arizona State basketball players in the NBA.

Two of them went head-to-head on Monday.

And the rookie's team got the better of the veteran's.

Making his first career NBA start, Luguentz Dort scored eight points for the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 112-107 win over James Harden and the Houston Rockets.

Dort helped hold Harden to 29 points in the game. Harden shot just 9-for-29 from the field and 1-for-17 from 3-point range.

The other former Sun Devil currently in the NBA, the New Orleans Pelicans' Zylan Cheatham, was watching.
