James Harden hits game-winning shot vs Warriors (Video)

James Harden came through for the Rockets when they need him the most on Thursday

Well, just when everyone was counting out the Houston Rockets against the Golden State Warriors in their NBA Playoffs series, Thursday night happened — and so did James Harden.

The Rockets were not in the best place on Thursday night, coming in down 2-0 in the series. It was announced prior to the game that Stephen Curry would not be playing in this one as well as he continues to recover from the ankle injury he suffered in Game 1, so wit Houston being at home, it was imperative that this Rockets team steal away a win.

Well, they did just that, as Harden nailed this shot as time was running down in regulation.

This was just after the Warriors had taken the lead, which everyone thought signaled an epic collapse here in Game 3 for the Rockets. However, there was no collapse in this one and Harden made sure of that.

Now if the Rockets can get this James Harden the rest of the way, even with the Warriors having Curry back, they might actually be in pretty good shape.
