Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. completely destroyed James Harden’s defense on Friday. In the middle of the third quarter of the Brooklyn Nets Cavs presentation at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Nance hangs around the paint and gets a nice touch from teammate Andre Drummond.
When he saw the beard as the only white shirt in his area, the resilient 28-year-old man took off and struck with a right-handed hammer over the outstretched arms of the Nets superstar.

The case can be decided that the refs should have called one-on-one on the play and Larry Nance Jr. had to send to the line.
James Harden, on the other hand, has often been criticized for his alleged lack of effort on the other side of the floor. To his credit, he tried to turn against the high-flying Nance, but eventually paid the price.
Nance and the Cavs meanwhile want to win against Harden and his company after their double overtime victory, which they dedicated to Jarrett Allen in their last outing.
Nance stole in 14 games with 10.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.5 steals. He also improved his efficiency off the field, with 49.6 percent of his efforts from the floor and 44.4 percent of his tries.
On the other hand, the Nets are still looking for chemistry between their two superstars in Harden and Kyrie Irving. Kevin Durant did not play out of precaution Friday night.
