James Harden prepares to make Draymond Green famous. The Houston Rockets entered Game 4 needing an MVP-caliber performance from superstar shooting guard James Harden to have a chance of getting even with the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals. Credit to Draymond Green for doing his level best to do his job, rotating off P.J. Tucker in the right corner to try to clean up the mess created when Harden blew past both the initial defense of switched-on center Kevon Looney and the half-hearted help of nearest teammate Stephen Curry, and for making Harden pay for his foray into the paint with a hard foul that landed the likely 2017-18 Most Valuable Player on his hind parts along the baseline.
