James Harden · The Memphis Grizzlies tried repeatedly to bury the Philadelphia 76ers. A vintage James Harden shooting performance wouldn’t let them. Trailing by four late in the fourth quarter and needing a huge bucket from the 10-time All-Star, Harden drew the defense in on a drive into the lane before kicking it into the corner for Tobias Harris, who got cut off on a baseline drive. The ball made its way back to Harden in the same corner, and with little time and zero space to operate thanks to Desmond Bane’s strong defense, the veteran guard still knocked down the clutch shot with 1:24 to play. Harden scored a game-high 31 points on 10 of 16 shooting — 6 of 9 from deep — while adding seven rebounds and seven assists in the 110-105 victory on February 23, 2023, marking the fifth time the 76ers have won this season when trailing by 15 points. · State of Mint
