Refs bailed him out, by giving Klay two early touch/phantom calls. :facepalm
Then a third foul in the 2nd quarter. Harden did most of his damage when Klay was on the bench. 4/13 in the 2nd half for Harden including only 4 points in the 4th and a few forced turnovers caused by Klay.

Klay scored only 11 pts (3/16FG), but added 6 assists and grabbed 4 rebs in 31 mins.

Harden, it's expected. But what happened to Klay doe, he played the worst game I've ever watched him, couldn't knock down a shot to save his life.

And make K. Thompson look like a scrub without double team and fresh legs.

Harden double team and barely rest on an intense game and still pull better numbers.

He did not see lots of playing time during the 1st half due to foul trouble. But as usual, his defense was impressive once the refs allowed him to play. He had 6 assists and 4 rebounds. He completely denied Harden from getting the ball. He forced him to pass the ball (the team played a major role too), forced him into comitting turnovers, down the stretch in the 4th quarter.

Wtf were watching? Klay was matched up harden for like less then 10 minutes and he got klay into foul trouble in the 1st. Green was matched up on harden and even then harden draw fouls on green. In the last harden and klay were matchedup in maybe one or two possessions. Do you watch these games!

And 4 TO in 31 minutes while being single team, pathetic. He need to give part of his salary to Curry today, the real superstar

No, what the world saw is Curry carrying Klay to the finish line when he has these off shooting nights. Nothing new.

I agree Klay was off all night but in NO WAY! it was because of Harden's genius abilities to defend. Thanks to inside presence and amazing perimeter defense by Klay, Harden disappeared in the 4th as usual when his team needs him the most.

Curry can not guard Harden, im not even sure if he can guard beverley (starting PG) who by the way was not playing. Curry wouldn't be producing that much offense if it was not for his buddies defense. Not saying he can not defend, he is tryin very hard and we all appreciate it. But lets be honest if he was given the task to defend Harden or other superstar guards for at least 60% of the game his offensive numbers will drop.

He just has games like that every now and then. He's not a tough shot maker or athletic enough to get those easy buckets close to the rim... sometimes you just have games where shots you usually make won't go in. Reddick is the same way actually... went like 1-13 the other night and then 9-11 last night or something shooting the same shots.
