Harden vs. Westbrook: MVP debate just got tougher

Have we ever seen a tighter MVP race than the one we’re witnessing now between Russell Westbrook and James Harden?

Today, the two squared off when the Thunder visited the Rockets.

Both Westbrook and Harden exploded in their own ways, but in the end Houston escaped with a 118-116 victory thanks to a game-clinching play from The Beard.

The final tally?

Harden: 26 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, W

Westbrook: 49 points (8 3FG), 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, L
