SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr says James Harden's offensive brilliance has changed the way teams have to defend him night to night.
In the wake of his team's biggest win of the year, a 116-104 triumph over the Houston Rockets, the Warriors held Harden, who came into the game averaging almost 39 points a game, to just 24. Kerr noted that his group worked hard in its preparation before facing the game's leading scorer.
"James has basically forced the whole league to reconsider how to defend," Kerr said.
