When the final seconds ticked off the clock in the Wells Fargo Center in the 76ers’ 99–90 loss to the Heat on Thursday evening, it brought with it a familiar sight for James Harden. Philadelphia’s season was on the line. Needing a win to keep its championship hopes alive, Harden failed to show up as the 10-time All-Star that many thought he would be in the season’s biggest moment.
The 32-year-old finished with 11 points in the game, attempting just two shots in the second half. The last field goal that he converted came with 3:31 to play in the second quarter. After the game, when Harden was asked why he played such a small part of the offense in the second half, his answer was rather simple.
