Together, the team reached the 2012 NBA Finals, where they lost to the Miami Heat. Harden was then traded to Houston and became the cornerstone of the Rockets franchise. He scored a career high 46 points against Oklahoma City on February 20, 2013.

Harden was also selected, along with Durant and Westbrook, to be a part of United States national team for the 2012 Summer Olympics, in which they won the gold medal.
