Harden's play was the difference. 23 points on 13 shots (including on those that he was fouled), 7 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals, no turnovers.
Dallas got about 9 more shots (including those with fouls), 5 more offensive boards, and 3 fewer turnovers. OKC won by shooting so well, period. 55.7% from two, 38.9% from three, and 80.8% from the line. Many of their shots were tough, especially Harden's. Plus Perkin's made a long two, not his forte.
Game one stats were much more even. Dirks shooting just put Dallas over the top, plus more threes at a % greater than .66 the opponent's two point shooting %.
