Irish Eyes View & Fan Reactions
No Irish players on the court, but Harden’s scoring explosion felt like a classic late-night GAA shootout — the kind of game that keeps you up past closing time in Waterford!
- Irish NBA groups on X: “Harden vintage! 7 threes without Mitchell — unreal.”
- Waterford fans chatting: “That fourth quarter had me on the edge of the couch — Bulls nearly pulled it off!”
- One local tweet: “Late-night viewing paid off — Cavs depth scary good.”
Our Verdict
Cavs proved they have real depth — Harden’s masterclass without Mitchell shows championship calibre. Bulls’ Q4 rally (37 points) gives hope for the rebuild, but early lapses cost them dearly.
Player of the Game: James Harden — 36 points, 7 threes, pure class under pressure.
Next Up: Cavs continue their road trip; Bulls face more rebuild tests.
