On March 8, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Philadelphia 76ers against the Chicago Bulls. In this game, James Harden ushered in a comeback.
In the first quarter, Harden played very actively, continuously impacting the Bulls defense to create free throws. At the same time, he also hit a signature step-back three-pointer.
However, when the good partner Embiid completely entered the rampage mode, Harden also opened his own "Hello No Attack" mode. In the middle two quarters, Harden's offensive desire was almost zero, and the sports battle scored only one goal. Embiid, on the other hand, scored 19 points in the third quarter, and also played a tacit cooperation with Harden, a down to the basket to stage a one-handed split. With Embiid so powerful, Harden easily enjoys lying down to win, just need to string together the team and send Embiid a good pass. Such treatment is something he could not have imagined during his time with the Nets.
In the end, the 76ers easily beat the Bulls 121-106 to send their opponents to a five-game losing streak. Harden shot 5-of-15 from the field and had 16 points and 14 assists. Embiid exploded with 43 points and 14 rebounds. Obviously, if he plays this statistic at the Nets, he will be criticized.
It is worth mentioning that this game actually belongs to Harden's milestone night. He reached 3 career milestones in one game. Among them, his three-point shooting equaled Reggie Miller, ranking 3rd in history. His total number of free throws surpassed Pierce's to rank 9th all-time. His career total surpassed Lakers star Elgin Baylor to 31st all-time.
