On March 21, Beijing time, the Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Toronto Raptors 88-93 at home. In this campaign, 76ers star James Harden had 17 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, and 6 turnovers. After the game, the US media counted embarrassing data about Harden and the 76ers.
According to statistics, Harden has made 249 turnovers so far this season, surpassing Doncic to rank third in the league, the top two being Westbrook (270, 70 games) and Trae Young (263, 65). What's more exaggerated is that Harden used only 55 games and made 249 mistakes. Westbrook reached 270 times and used 70 games, and Trae Young reached 263 times, which was 65 games.
Second, the Raptors appear to have become the nemesis of the 76ers, and since the 76ers' series with the Raptors in 2019, Embiid has only shot 36% against the Raptors (12 of the 15 games have a shooting rate of less than 50%). Embiid, however, has a 50 percent shooting percentage against other teams, and in 115 games, he has shot at least 50 percent in 65 games.
Third, the 76ers led by 16 points at most, only to be reversed. This is the second time in March that the 76ers have been reversed with a 15+ lead. It is worth mentioning that in the previous game on March 15, the 76ers once led the Nuggets by 19 points, but they were reversed by the opponent.
In today's game, Harden can say that his performance in the final quarter was a bit outrageous. At the time, he made three consecutive turnovers in a single minute and missed two free throws in key moments.
At the crucial moment, Harden completed the cut against Trent. However, in the final 7 seconds, when the team was two points behind, Harden broke through to the inside line and knocked down Boucher and was blown an offensive foul and upgraded to the first level to maliciously bury the victory of the game.
