James Harden explains stare down on Wesley Johnson after sick crossover
Not only did the Rockets soundly beat the Clippers, but James Harden also embarrassed them by sending Wesley Johnson to the floor with one of the nastiest crossovers of the year.
Those were three of Harden's 17 first-quarter points as he helped the Rockets get off to a huge lead. As he reached the elbow, he stopped on a dime, crossovered between his legs and stepped back to the three-point line.
As Johnson recovered a full 10 feet in front of Harden with 15 seconds left on the shot clock, the Houston Rockets' guard paused.
Harden missed the contentious January 15 matchup - which featured two ejections, five technical fouls and a postgame altercation both inside and outside of the Clippers' locker room - due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain he suffered against the Los Angeles Lakers on December 31.
After the game, in which Harden finished with a game-high 25 points, he threw some more dirt on Johnson's grave. But it's James Harden's cross over and stare down that is lighting up social media and the entire league.
Now, most players would gather and shoot knowing that they're about to go viral and make the highlights for the night.

As the Celtics were putting the finishing touches on one of the greatest comeback wins in franchise history, Smart's fingerprints were all over the final chapter. I might laugh and joke, but at the end of the day when you have the ball and the ball's tipped off, it's time to go. It was like a game of Twister, only Johnson was playing by himself while Harden was the spectator. Harden is averaging 31.6 points per game this season. At one point, Harden had 14 points compared to the Clippers seven points during the first quarter.

The N.B.A. can sometimes feel like an endless game of one-upmanship, but LeBron James took it to another level on Thursday. "This is a game of showmanship, but at the same time this is a game of swag and whatever you've got to do, man".
After missing out on the MVP award previous year, Harden is a heavy favorite to win the trophy this season. But me simply saying it doesn't do what Harden did justice.
Golden State is current 47-14, putting them only a half game behind the Rockets at the top of the West. I know it's immature, but I just can't get enough of this stuff. "I'm going to stay away from the barricades".
