Harris may be just being sarcastic here. He did make a mini-flex as soon as he landed and back-pedaled to the other side. Not really known for his dunking, this is certainly an impressive finish from Harris, considering he did so against an elite rim protector in Bismack Biyombo.
The poster dunk was two of Harris' team-high 24 points on the evening. Along with his scoring output, he also put up an all-around line of nine rebounds, six assists, four steals, and three blocks, while shooting an efficient 9-of-14 from the field and drilling four 3-pointers in 37 minutes of work.
Aside from Harris, five other Sixers finished in double-figures on Saturday. Newly-acquired guard Seth Curry scored 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting, while knocking down three triples. All-Star center Joel Embiid had 19 points and 14 boards, while star facilitator Ben Simmons finished with a triple-double.
The Sixers are off to a strong start with a 5-1 record, sitting atop the Eastern Conference standings in the young season. Things are certainly looking promising for Philadelphia early, especially after a disappointing 2019-20 season. As for Harris, he also having a pretty solid start to his 10th NBA season. Entering Saturday, the 6-foot-8 wing averaged 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists, while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and a scorching 45.8 percent from deep.
