Top 20 Playoff Performances of 2018

6. James Harden

James Harden was the MVP last season and he carried that success into the playoffs. Harden eclipsed 30 points in eight games, three of which were 40-point efforts, as he led the Rockets offensive attack.

Houston made it within one game of the NBA Finals, almost upsetting the Golden State Warriors. In Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets shot an abysmal 7 for 44 from three-point range but Harden did his best to keep them afloat as he scored a team-high 32 points.

Across 17 postseason contests, Harden averaged 28.6 points, 6.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game.
