James Harden is one of the best dribblers in the league, but it took a while for him to develop into the superstar scorer and distributor he is today. Harden has recorded 10+ turnovers in two separate NBA Playoffs games in his career. He tallied 12 against the Golden State Warriors in 2015, the most in NBA postseason history.

The other occasion was against his former team OKC Thunder in 2013 when Harden was just rising up the ranks as the next superstar in the league.

He struggled in both games overall. Against the Warriors, Harden scored just 14 points on 2-of-11 shooting, while against the Thunder, he recorded 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting.

Harden has also had two instances where he has recorded nine turnovers in the NBA Playoffs. The most recent instance was against the Warriors in the 2018 NBA Playoffs, when he scored 20 points. The other time was against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2017 NBA Playoffs when he scored 33 points, ten rebounds and ten assists.
