KD game winning shot today... he even popped a zit when laying that up

Kobe was the closer tbh.

Durant is one of the best at game-winning shots, but Harden is their most efficient and reliable clutch time performer, tbh..Manu 2.0..

Surprisingly it's Westbrick.

Harden shot 30 percent in crunch time this year. Another surprise is that our own Tim Duncan has been a monster in crunch time this season. The second best crunch time big behind Andrew Bynum.

Harden usually makes Matt Bonner seem like Larry Bird when it comes to producing in the clutch. I was shocked when he hit those two layups. But they were mostly because a certain 11-time All-Defensive Teamer played pathetic D.

Bonner averaged more points per minute in the clutch than Manu 2.0

In Harden's defense, he does have an excellent assist per 48 (AP48) to turnover per 48 (TOP48) ratio in the clutch. 6.0 : 0.4

Westbrook's: 4.0 : 5.6

Durant: 0.8 : 2.4

Of course ratios like this are meaningless unless you get a sense for the sample size. The fact that Bonner's PPG per 48 > Harden's PPG per 48 should be testament to that.
