    CP3, once again, controlled the game and let Harden rest until it was time to win.. What a tandem! it's working.. IT'S WORKING!

    And don't forget the 8 points by Paul to end the 3rd Q.

    Speaking of highlights, can someone GIF the moment when Harden and Paul were talking to each other after Harden made that huge 3?

    It's meme-able. Like the Draymond - KD meme.

    I want defensive highlights. James had at least 3-4 very good defensive plays down the stretch as well as cp3 and his always good defense.

    That re-gather / out-of-rhythm game sealing three is SUCH a difficult shot, I just can't comprehend this maestro... My brain is exploding.

    Anyone have a slow-mo gif or video of Harden's pump fake? I can't tell if it's actually a travel or not.

    That Chris Paul 3 late where he does the playground crossover and kinda loses the ball on the step back but still drills it was difficult and nice as well

    Start at 4:07 and go 0.25x or 0.5x speed!

    Looked pretty close. But that's what you get when you have CP deliver the perfect pass for Harden to get into a good triple threat position, enabled him to make the play.

    Rondo bit on that like a frickin sea bass.

    Well to me the most important factor in those highlights is those two are getting better and better at finding one another and picking there spots during a game which spells disaster for the rest of the league. They are playing well with one another.

    These are cool with audio-track offset to time "Sets, Fires, Hits" to the chest bump, haha

    Longer version

    Looks like a travel. Catches the ball, takes a step with each foot into a set shot. Then as part of his pump fake he takes another step, dribbles, then shoots.

    Oh well I'll take it!

    Loved the CP / Harden embrace at the end... Brotherly love right there.

    Is Boogie that bad on D? Looked like all his hard work scoring was negated by all the points he let in.

    It's like a great game of "anything you can do I can do better," and Rocket fans get to sit back and enjoy!

    No travel. Harden dribbled once after the head fake.
