After the loss, Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins was asked about Harden (h/t Warriors on NBCS).

Wiggins was one of the main defenders who contributed to Harden's 4/15 shooting night.

Wiggins: "It's tough. He's a very smart player and has a lot of good assets. Great shooter, play-maker, can pass his a** off. Someone that can take over a game in a lot of different ways. Every time going up against him is tough, you gotta make it hard on him and you gotta bring your A game."

Wiggins finished with 22 points, three rebounds and one block while shooting 7/12 from the field and 2/4 from the three-point range in 29 minutes.

He is averaging 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest while shooting 44.2% from the field and 38.0% from the three-point range.

Harden has gone 27-4 in his 31 matchups against Wiggins over the last 11 seasons.
