James Harden Injury Update: Will Cavaliers Star Play Monday Night vs. Pistons?

However, the 6-foot-5 star did cut down on the turnovers with just 3 in the last game. Earlier, the 17-year-NBA veteran accumulated 47 turnovers, which will be a record Harden won’t be proud of. 

Meanwhile, putting up a fairly impressive performance in Game 3, the team would want the star player to improve from there.

Can James Harden Build On His Game 3 Performance?

Harden had a strong display in the fourth quarter of Game 3. Doing a lot of things right, the 36-year-old’s performance took the burden off Mitchell’s shoulders. And it allowed the latter to play his natural game freely. As in Game 4, the management will hope that the veteran star can replicate that performance in the subsequent games. Otherwise, a 1-3 deficit might prove quite difficult to catch up on.

Following the game, Harden said, “You give me opportunities in this fourth quarter, and I take advantage of them. I’ve done an unbelievable job throughout the course of my career of just understanding what the job needs to be, especially as I get older, and doing whatever it takes to win the game. That’s the most important thing.”

Well, the former Los Angeles Clippers are sounding confident. But the management will rely on results. Having roped him in via a blockbuster trade, only time will tell whether it was worth it.
