Tobias Harris · Only a half-season away from crossing the NBA’s 1,000-game barrier, it’s likely that there isn’t a player nor playtype that Tobias Harris hasn’t come across in Year 14. Setting the type of bait reserved for only seasoned veterans on January 3, 2025, Harris uses one’s know-how advantageously, invading Tidjane Salaün’s pass attempt for a steal that fortuitously careens towards the floor’s opposite side. Left with only one thing left to do, Harris sequences the breakaway swipe with a polite two-handed throwdown, extending the Detroit Pistons’ final-quarter lead to three. In a “been there, done that”-type performance, Harris’ versatility took centerstage, as he led all scorers with 24 points (on 9-of-16 shooting), paired with 10 rebounds, three steals, one block, and four 3-pointers. Following in his lead, Detroit survived a closely-contested clash against the feisty Charlotte Hornets, kickstarting what would become a successful, course-changing run through January. · State of Mint
