“He still got it James Harden dominating again 31-7-10 assist leads 76ers 116-108 comeback vs Heat,” Fitzgerald Sr. wrote.
Harden actually only finished with nine assists, not 10. Nevertheless, he was the best player on the court late in this game for either team. Whether he surprisingly getting to the rim for uncontested layups or sinking dagger three's, Harden came to play. It was much needed as the Heat were doing everything they could to keep Sixers superstar Joel Embiid from taking over.
The series now shifts back to Miami with the Sixers having all of the momentum. However, the Sixers are still the team that needs to win on the road. Miami does not need to win in Philadelphia, as they still hold home court advantage. Game 5 will be Tuesday night in Miami.
