On Tuesday, James Harden spoke with reporters.
He was pretty upbeat and talked about the Rockets needing to clean up some defensive breakdowns heading into Game 2.
The likely MVP also mentioned how he and his squad need to keep their "swag" and confidence high despite losing Game 1.
Did he speak with teammates about maintaining that attitude?
"Yeah, yesterday I called guys. After the game I called guys," Harden said. "You can just tell as a leader when guys aren't happy or when guys aren't moving or having the same swag. So I just called guys to see how they're feeling.
