Jazz coach Quin Snyder praises James Harden's playmaking

With Rockets guard James Harden second in the NBA in points scored or created off assists, trailing only Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook, Jazz coach Quin Snyder was asked if he would rather take away Harden's scoring or passing.

"Can you keep him off the foul line, too?" Snyder said.

Eventually, Snyder said he would rather limit Harden's playmaking, with one caveat.

"Last year, he had 10 assists for 30 points," Snyder said. "I'd say assists, but the ones you equate to 3-point shots. He does a lot of things. He gets to the basket. He gets fouled.
