James Harden contributed significantly to the Cavaliers’ Game 7 victory over the Raptors, scoring 18 points primarily from free throws. Despite a subpar shooting night and a series-low in assists, Harden maintained defensive intensity with three steals and limited turnovers. As the Cavaliers gear up for the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pistons, improved shooting and playmaking from Harden will be crucial for their success.
