The Golden State Warriors have been eaten alive by James Harden. He completely dominated them in the first three quarters of Game 4. Then, Kevin Durant took the challenge of guarding the reigning MVP personally.
Harden scored just three points in the last ten minutes of the game, totaling 38 in Game 4. While the trick won’t solely be putting Durant on Harden for all 48, Kerr must draw up a better gameplan at shutting down the league’s scoring champion.
Scoring over 36 points per game during the regular season, Harden does the majority of his work in isolation.
