Harden's two free throws with 13 seconds remaining put Cleveland up 125-122. Sam Merrill fouled LaMelo Ball with 9.2 seconds left but Ball missed both free throws. Edwards got the rebound and missed a wide-open 3-pointer from the top of the key.
Peyton Watson then put it out of reach by sinking both his foul shots with 3.9 seconds left.
Harden tied it at 113 with 10.4 seconds remaining in regulation on a 7-foot floater from the left corner.
