It wasn't a Western Conference championship win, but James Harden of the Houston Rockets was finally able to get one over on Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson.

The two All-Stars went head-to-head in Drew League action this past Saturday, with Harden's LAUNFD squad emerging victorious in a first-round playoff matchup over Thompson and C.A.B.C.

Harden was named player of the game with a near triple-double of 15 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists.

It was Thompson's Warriors that came away with the bigger prize in this year's playoffs, though, knocking off Harden's Rockets en route to the franchise's first title win in 40 years.

It's always a pleasure watching two of the league's top shooting guards face off, whether it's in the NBA's postseason or on a Drew League court where defense is a rarity and highlight-reel plays are plentiful.
