Harden sparked a big run in the fourth to eventually lead OKC to a 103-97 victory. Harden had 29 points in the game.
If it weren't for the 22-year-old's amazing performance in the fourth, we would probably be seeing a Game 5 in this series, as Dirk Nowitzki showed a resemblance of his 2011 Playoffs-self.
What was really interesting about this was that Dallas practically let Harden get those easy layups. During that run, Harden kept going to the left and making the layup. According to several sources, Oklahoma City ran the same play 16 times in the fourth, which helped get them the win.
Fear the beard.
