James Harden had just made Jason Terry ate his words following an explosive performance in game two of the Western Conference finals series. Harden waxed hot all-game long as he scored 23 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished off four assists as the Oklahoma City Thunder waylaid the Dallas Mavericks, 106-100, to even up the series at two wins apiece. Terry, who is the starting shooting guard of the Mavs, declared that he will outscore the Harden and the entire Thunder bench in the series. Terry finished with just 8 points and zero assist. Harden even scored his second 4-point play in the series. Thunder hitman Kevin Durant, who topscored for OKC with 24 points, was all praised for the performance of Harden and other surprise packages like Eric Maynor, Nick Collison and Daequan Cook, according to the Associated Press.

“They’ve been playing hard all year for us and this was another example.”
