Beijing time, March 26, today, the Philadelphia 76ers won 122-97 away to the Clippers, winning three consecutive wins, so that the 76ers record to tie the Bucks, the ranking rose to the second place in the East, at the same time, also gave the Clippers a five-game losing streak. In this game, Harden's state is very good, the first half played a dominant performance, bombarded the 25 + 11 + 2 data, the second half, due to too much lead, Harden also converged a lot on the offensive end, but he can still contribute 4 + 4 + 5 data, in the end, Harden cut 29 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists, plus or minus +28 the first in the game.
Harden's offensive aggression in this game is very sufficient, he got 11 free throws, all hits, Embiid felt good, in the first half, the emperor directly pounded the yellow dragon, killed the Clippers inside the chicken dog restless, the whole game down, Embiid only played 28 minutes, the fourth quarter did not play, 9 of 19, 8 of 7 free throws, dominated the inside line, took 27 points and 10 rebounds, Embiid started poorly, but after entering the second quarter, his state quickly recovered, which is also the reason why the 76ers can continue to expand the point difference.
However, the biggest contributor to the 76ers' win this game is Harden, who can not only create a threat on the offensive end, but also make his teammates play more comfortably, this battle, Sebel created a surprise under Harden's tandem, he only played 26 minutes, 5 of 6, scored 13 points, plus or minus +21. Harden's outstanding performance in this game also allowed him to set two major records, the first record, Harden picked up 15 rebounds in this game, a new record of his season, the previous 14; Harden scored 25 points + 11 rebounds in the half, which was the first time this season to play such a performance, setting a season record.
In this game, Harden could have scored more points and even had the hope of winning a triple-double, but because the team's lead was too large, Harden only played half a quarter in the fourth quarter and went off early. Of course, after seeing the team take a big lead, Harden also lost his desire, and he was very restrained on the offensive end, and it can be seen that Harden can still be a man. It turns out that although Harden did have a certain decline compared to his peak, with his current skills, it is not difficult to score.
For Harden, the most important thing right now is to stay fit, and this season, the 76ers are aiming to compete for the title, as long as he and Embiid are in a healthy posture to enter the playoffs, believing that the team can at least reach the Eastern Conference Finals. The 76ers don't have too good guards on the bench, so Harden has played for a long time in most of the games, and in this game, the 76ers have led by 22 points at the end of the third quarter, but they have played another 34 minutes, which may be a hidden danger. In Harden's game, the 76ers have achieved an impressive record of 10 wins and 3 losses, and this season can be said to be harden's best season for the championship.
