Having a guy like Harden come in with the Bench The Thunder have and allow the 1st Team to take some time to relax while he helps increase the lead most of the time has been a huge help to The Thunder. Then once Harden gets them rested he can still play 43 minutes of a game like tonight and pump in 25 points, go 3 for 8 from 3 point land, 6 Rebounds and a Steal. Incredible guy to have as a 6th man. Also Collison has been playing well this week too.
