Feeling ill early on Wednesday, James Harden was excused from the Rockets morning practice. Come game time, it was only his shot that was - as the kids say - sick. Harden swished seven threes, three more than he had made through the first four games of the series, on his way to 31 points. Harden may have been battling a cold; however, his shooting was anything but, as he drilled 10 of his 16 field goal attempts. Harden said he spent the day sleeping, yet it was his old teammate Kevin Durant who drifted off late, going scoreless in the fourth quarter.
Harden's rapid recovery is just as surprising as the Rockets, who staved off elimination for the second straight time and get to head home for game 6. Maybe there's a mini-medicine cabinet in that bushy beard.
