James Harden of the Houston Rockets and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors are locked in a battle worth watching in the Western Conference Finals. It validates every bit the pair finishing in the top two in MVP voting.
Some looked at this as a chance for Curry to validate his award. Others looked at it as a chance for Harden to demonstrate that the voters were wrong.
Some have used the last play of Game 2, in which Curry forced a Harden turnover as the final seconds ticked off the clock with the Warriors holding a one-point lead.
