Making up for his lackluster performance in Game 3, James Harden struck back with a vengeance dropping 45 points, grabbing 9 rebounds and dishing out 5 dimes to save the Rockets season.
“When you have a tough game, you’re not very happy with everything,” McHale said. “He was extremely unhappy yesterday and he took it out – but that’s what you’ve got to do. You’ve got to take it out on them. You take it out on the other team and he did it. He went out and played one hell of a game.”
Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals now shifts back to Oakland.
