VIDEO: Harden caps night of dominance over Tucker, Suns with step-back game-winner

James Harden did all kinds of terrible things to the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, dropping 33 points on a cool 18 shots, snagging six boards and dishing 10 assists for good measure. 

But nobody on the Suns got it worse than P.J. Tucker, the poor soul tasked with guarding Harden for most of the night. Harden burned and dunked on Tucker late in the second quarter, but that would've been easy enough to forget had he not done something far crueler to end the game.

The Suns, who'd scraped and clawed their way back from a 16-point deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter, watched their hopes dissolve along with Tucker's ankles.
