James Harden jumped right into José Calderón like he was playing Leap Frog

What exactly is James Harden trying to do here? It looks like he’s trying to cut and get away from his defender, but midway through his motions, he jumps—for seemingly no reason at all.

Maybe, he decided to run towards the bench instead of playing defense against the New York Knicks? After all, it does look like he’s headed that direction but doesn’t realize that José Calderón is in his way until it’s too late.
