Will James Harden struggle against the Thunder again?

HOUSTON -- For all of James Harden’s brilliance that's led to his MVP candidacy, there’s this: He struggles against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Houston Rockets point guard will face the Thunder for the final time in the regular season on Sunday afternoon at the Toyota Center.

Harden has an offensive rating of just 94 against the Thunder, the lowest against any team he’s played against this season. He’s shooting just 29 percent from the field and 21.7 percent from 3-point range. The cause for the shooting woes begins and starts with Thunder small forward Andre Roberson.
