Harden shot 4 of 16, 0 of 6 three-pointers, scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, and there were 198 three-pointers in NBA playoff history that made 0 of 6 three-pointers, and Harden was the first player to hit this set of statistics on 0-of-6 three-point shooting.

Tatum was embarrassed on 0-of-10 shooting at half-time
Tatum, who scored 19 points on 5-of-21 shooting, staged a late-minute redemption after shooting 0-of-10 in the first half, becoming the third person since 1996-97 to make at least 10 half-court shots without scoring a goal, being Jordan in 1997 (0-of-11 against the Heat) and Harden in 2019 (0-of-10 from halftime against the Jazz).
The 76ers and the Green Army met again to grab seven
Tatum hit four three-pointers in the final quarter to save the Greens. This is the eighth time the Celtics and 76ers have reached a best-of-seven game, which also sets a record for the NBA's best-of-seven game.
