James Harden nearly played the villain at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Friday night.
The All-Star guard was THIS close to leading the Houston Rockets to victory, barely missing a 3-pointer as time expired in Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Despite the miss, Harden was once again spectacular for the Rockets, scoring 44 points on 11-of-21 shooting, with six rebounds, six assists, and a block in the 115-113 defeat.
The Rockets will look to bounce back Sunday, when they'll try to extend their series lead to 3-1.
