Does anyone remember Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars? Well as the Rebel Alliance was entering what they thought was a sneak attack on the Galactic Empire, they were dead: wrong the Empire was waiting on them.
"It's a trap!" Ackbar screams as the Rebels take massive fire and casualties before being able to retreat.
My first thought post game of James Harden's struggles was this exact same thing. The Rebel's A.K.A James Harden thought this game was in the bag, he'd get his points, Rockets would get their win and he'd be out mid-way through the fourth quarter.
