All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player.
James Harden
36 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 5 turnovers
This was a Harden masterpiece through three quarters. He converted multiple four-point plays and canned seven three-pointers. His heliocentric control of the offense kept Cleveland grooving until suddenly, the Bulls found a way to disrupt his rhythm. The final quarter was hectic, but Harden made enough plays down the stretch to preserve his grade. His iso-jumper with 31 seconds left was the knockout blow.
