OAKLAND — So much for the Warriors’ disciplined defense on James Harden.
The Warriors lost, 135-134, in overtime after Harden made a contested 3-pointer with one second remaining. Warriors forward Kevin Durant hoisted a shot from 31 feet off the inbounds, but his shot fell short.
All of which punctuates the Warriors seemed in firm control after leading by as many as 20 points. Instead, the Warriors (25-14) snapped a two-game losing streak after Harden posted 44 points while shooting 13-of-32 from the field, 10-of-23 from the perimeter and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line.
The Warriors had plenty of balance with Stephen Curry (35 points), Kevin Durant (26 and Klay Thompson (26).
