After their disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1, Tobias Harris of the Philadelphia 76ers has moved on from the heartbreak and is looking to bounce back in Game 2.
Harris admitted that the dismay brought about by the Game 1 loss lingered overnight. But Harris acknowledged that they still have an opportunity to turn things around. As such, it's important to have a positive mindset.
“It’s the playoffs and at the end of the day, we all as competitors hate to lose,” said Tobias Harris at practice on Tuesday, per Ky Carlin of USA Today. “From last night up to this morning, it’s a sour taste, but at the same time we know the opportunity ahead and this league is all about confidence so you can’t hang your head for too long. You’ve got to be able to get right back up, keep your confidence high, keep your mind right, and just be ready to get better out there.”
The Sixers, who are without the services of Ben Simmons, committed 18 turnovers as opposed to just seven by the Celtics. Tobias Harris himself had a good game with 15 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. But it just wasn't enough to counter the duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who dropped 29 and 32 points respectively.
Perhaps in the next games of the series, the Sixers will have a chance to bounce back. After all, the Celtics will be without veteran forward Gordon Hayward for the next four weeks due to an ankle sprain.
