The Rockets told TNT sideline reporter Allie LaForce that Harden suffered a laceration to his left eyelid:

The 2017-18 NBA MVP left the game with 6:27 left in the first quarter and re-entered with 7:09 left in the first half. Somehow, Harden fared better after the injury, scoring all 12 of his first-half points in the second quarter.

Golden State leads the second-round best-of-seven playoff series 1-0 and took a 58-49 lead into halftime.
