James Harden: Scuffles with shot in Game 3 loss

Harden and backcourt mate Chris Paul both had trouble getting their shots to
fall early, putting the Rockets into a bind in from the opening quarter onward.
The Beard did bounce back to produce a solid overall line, but he saw his
minutes somewhat reduced due to the blowout that ensued in the fourth quarter.
Harden’s scoring totals have now dropped over those of his prior game in each of
the last two contests, a trend he’ll look to reverse in Tuesday’s pivotal Game
4.
