Houston Rockets star James Harden, who suffered a lacerated left eyelid in the Rockets' NBA play-off loss to the Golden State Warriors yesterday morning (Singapore time), is hoping three days of rest will have him seeing clearly for their next encounter. 'It's pretty blurry...

"But that's him - I didn't have a doubt he was coming back unless it was something catastrophic."

It certainly looked bad enough as Harden dropped to the court and stayed there - a hand to his eyes - until the Rockets called a timeout so he could get medical treatment. Green spoke to Harden as he departed the court with a compress on his face, saying he just wanted to check on Harden after the inadvertent contact."A lot of people forget when a guy has an injury, you live that every second of every day and it's not just about this game. So if his eye is messed up, he's got to live that every day, so I wanted to check on the guy."He dislocated the middle finger on his left hand early in the game, but still managed 20 points.

For the second game in a row, all five Warriors starters scored in double figures. Kevin Durant led with 29 points, Klay Thompson added 21, while Andre Iguodala had 16.- AFP, REUTERS
