Rockets' James Harden: Struggles with shot in home loss

Harden finished with 25 points (5-17 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 14-17 FT) while adding 12 assists, seven rebounds and two steals over 39 minutes in Monday's 117-108 loss against the Pacers.

Analysis:

While Harden still finished with a respectable point total it was a grind all evening. He was way off from the perimeter and most of his damage came at the free-throw line. While his shot wasn't dropping, he more than made up for it with his fifth straight 10-plus assist game while posting at least two steals in his third consecutive outing.
