There isn’t a whole lot to take from this one. So don’t give any of these grades too much merit. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player.
James Harden 20 points, 5 assists, 5 turnovers Harden looks ready for anything other than regular-season basketball. I doubt he plays on Sunday — and if he does, the effort probably won’t be much better than this. He was a minus-34 and had one more field goal than turnovers.
Grade: F Jaylon Tyson 15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks Tyson is the lone bright spot. He returned from a toe injury tonight and didn’t appear to miss a step. He wasn’t able to make a three-pointer, but he shot 7-10 from inside two-point range.
