James Harden’s Electric Home Debut: 11 Surprising Moments That Could Change the Cavaliers’ Season Forever
Mitchell has also given Harden the space to do what he does best. Even though Harden only had four field-goal attempts against Washington, he was able to completely play his game, his way. He acted as the play initiator for most of the evening and had the second-highest usage on the team.
