With 7:53 left in the 4th quarter of Tuesday’s Spurs-Rockets game, James Harden picked off an errant DeMarre Carroll pass and took it the other way, with nothing standing between him and a chance to push his team’s lead back up to 15. Instead he recorded his second missed dunk of the season, which proved costly: it gave the Lonnie Walker-led Spurs just enough daylight to tie the game in regulation, before eking out the win in double overtime. Harden went 1-for-6 from the field in what remained of the fourth and the Spurs overall outscored the visitors 26 to 13 to complete a 22-point comeback.
