James Harden stays on court to practice shooting after poor game against Thunder

It was a night to forget for James Harden, Russell Westbrook and the rest of the Houston Rockets team as they succumbed to a disappointing 107-112 loss against Oklahoma City Thunder. The home team surrendered a 17-point lead at the Toyota Center in the fourth quarter. By losing the regular-season series 2-1, OKC Thunder now hold a tiebreaker advantage over the Rockets. Houston dropped their fourth consecutive game in a row.

James Harden, in particular, was wasteful in the Thunder loss as he matched his own embarrassing record of most 3-point shots missed in an NBA game. Although James Harden ended the night with 29 points, nine boards and six assists, he bricked the majority of his shots from downtown in 29 minutes of play. The former NBA MVP went 9-of-24 from the field (31 per cent) and missed 16 of his 17 attempts from beyond the arc (5.9 per cent). Post the loss, Harden was captured back on the court where he went through some shooting drills. Can 'The Beard' step up his game and find his feet in the coming weeks or will the Rockets miss out on a play-off spot once again?
