However, this isn’t the first James Harden’s will to win has been put to question. The Rockets star, known for his blistering runs, has failed to shoot over 37% in his last four games while mustering a 32.5% on 20 shots per game, and a meek 19% on 10.5 three-point attempts. Harden’s dip in form has directly resulted in Rockets spiralling down to sixth in NBA's Western Conference table and might spiral further down. The Dallas Mavericks are only a full game behind and could force a tiebreaker if they beat Rockets in the last two matchups of the season.
