After returning from the second quarter, Harden lost consecutive shots, and the Nets once took a 24-point lead, and then Harden found a three-point feeling, an empty three-pointer, a retreat three-point shot, to help the team narrow the point difference to 21 points.
In the second half, Harden made a three-point shot, a mid-range jumper, all shots were lost, this quarter did not get a point, Harris although he got 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, but also could not stand the Nets' crazy scoring, the third quarter was over, the difference between the two teams has reached 32 points, and the game has lost suspense. Harden did not reappear in the final quarter, but received treatment on the sidelines, and it was clear that injuries affected his play, but not all. The main reason is that Harden is as weak as ever in key games.

The opponent is moving, and we are not. We also failed to stop them and this defeat was a good lesson for us. As for Durant, that's even more murderous.
Kevin Durant said after the game: "At the end, the scene was too quiet, and we could no longer hear the 76ers fans shouting Simmons. That's a great player who can stand up for his teammates, and Harden, obviously, didn't.
