Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Houston was pursuing the league's best record through an offense built almost entirely around James Harden's creation. With Chris Paul and Trevor Ariza unavailable, Harden's burden against Orlando expanded from leading scorer to nearly every part of the attack.

  • No player in NBA history had recorded a 60-point triple-double.
  • Harden was also chasing the first MVP award of a career already defined by several close finishes.
