Entering Wednesday's game, James Harden had averaged 17.4 points on 50.7 percent shooting since the All-Star break.

“We're playing very well offensively, and it has a lot to do with James Harden,” Brooks said. “He's coming off the bench and providing us a spark. He's consistent. He's defending. He's making shots. He's playmaking for others. Russell (Westbrook) and Kevin (Durant) obviously are big offensive threats. But they're moving the ball well, they're taking good shots and everybody feels a part of it. When you have five guys participating on the offensive end, it helps the defense also.”
