Sun Devil vs. Sun Devil: Luguentz Dort impresses against James Harden in first NBA start
There are currently three former Arizona State basketball players in the NBA.
Two of them went head-to-head on Monday.
And the rookie's team got the better of the veteran's.
Making his first career NBA start, Luguentz Dort scored eight points for the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 112-107 win over James Harden and the Houston Rockets.
Dort helped hold Harden to 29 points in the game. Harden shot just 9-for-29 from the field and 1-for-17 from 3-point range.
The other former Sun Devil currently in the NBA, the New Orleans Pelicans' Zylan Cheatham, was watching.
He retweeted these tweets from the Thunder about Dort, his former teammate at ASU, Tuesday night.
