James Harden was itching to get back onto the court after missing the Rockets’ last game against the Clippers. He scratched that itch fully when he torched Los Angeles for a 17-point first half that included a pair of ankles he snatched right from underneath Wesley Johnson.
James Harden destroyed Wesley Johnson’s ankles with one vicious stepback
My goodness.


Harden dribbled by Johnson then pulled back, only to watch Johnson’s body go one way and his ankles go another. It was like a game of Twister, only Johnson was playing by himself while Harden was the spectator.
The most disrespectful part of it all? Harden stared at Johnson on the ground for a good two or three seconds before eventually pulling and making his three on the wing.
