While disappointed he didn’t win the award, (Houston Rockets James) Harden said his goal is to win a title.

“That’s tough, but we’re in the second round of the playoffs, and I got better things to worry about, and that’s the Clippers,” Harden said. “They’re a very good team that’s rolling right now, and it didn’t work out, but there’s more of the season to continue to play.”

“That’s what it’s about,” Harden said. “Obviously, an individual award, the MVP, is amazing. But like I said, we got an amazing opportunity in this locker room, and I’m not going to let one individual award affect what we got going on in this locker room. We still have a great season to play in and some great games ahead of us.”
