James Harden doesn't really care if the officials thought his game-winning shot from Game 3 was a push-off.
To him, the bottom line is the Houston Rockets got the win, and his attention is firmly affixed to Game 4.
"Game is over, right? I don't think I pushed off. I'm worried about Game 4," Harden told Michael Lee of The Vertical.
Harden pushed off against Andre Iguodala to create space for his step-back jumper that gave the Rockets the win. No foul was called at the time, but the day after, the league office released its Last Two Minute Report which stated that Harden initiated contact with his defender.
