The three Harden late buckets in the video below. First two against Luka (includes the play you posted); last one against Kleiber. I particularly liked Luka's help defense from the strong side corner on the last one.

It’s like Luka has no experience on how to play with 5 fouls. I don’t even know what that was espeically how awesome him and that team has defended since trade deadline. So weird.
He really doesn't. He had all of two games this year with 5 fouls, one of which was against Boston in which he picked up his 5th foul in the final minute with the game no longer in doubt.
As @Euclis20 said, he actually didn't ever play with 5 fouls this year. I'm guessing that the playoffs is the first time he's been trying enough on D to even pick up fouls.
Right….but at some point in his career he’s played with 2 in the first half or 4 in the 3Q or even 5 at some point.
My immediate though was of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer was getting fired from the job he didn’t even work when the boss said, “It’s almost as if you have no business training at all.”
"Let me be honest here, Luka: you might be more than just one tweak away from a healthy relationship with defense"
