James Harden Sparks Second-Half Rally in Cavaliers Loss to Thunder

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden showcased a vintage stretch during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, driving an 18-3 third-quarter run by scoring or assisting on 16 points. Harden established his outside shooting to open up playmaking across all three levels, though Cleveland ultimately fell behind early. The Cavaliers continue to rely heavily on the 37-year-old veteran to create offensive flow and perimeter opportunities.
