Harden returned to the game in the second quarter, but had a hard time seeing. He told the media after the game that the lights were blurry and he could barely see.

Despite the difficulties seeing, Harden managed to finish the game with 29-points. But the Rockets took the loss and are now down two games to none.
I’m sure Harden was poked in the eyes and it didn’t feel great, but he’s also one of the biggest actors in the game. He might have been playing up his inability to see a little.
