James Harden didn’t take kindly to losing to the Sacramento Kings thanks to a last minute shot from Nemanja Bjelica. He had a decent game against the Kings, with 27 points and 10 assists, but also had 8 turnovers.
The Beard was never going to take a loss like that lying down, and the unfortunate victims of his latest homicidal performance were the Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost 116-110.
Harden blasted the Cavs for 55 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks while shooting 20 of 34 (10 of 18 from 3) from the field. Those gaudy stats completely erased any effect that his 6 turnovers may have had on the game.

Oh, and Russell Westbrook had a pretty good game too. His 23 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals came with just 2 turnovers.
Who knew that having both Bestbrook and The Beard show up would result in a Houston win?
