James Harden was largely subdued against the Heat for most of the series before he erupted in Game 4
James Harden was relentless in the fourth quarter of Game 4. He was largely subdued against the Heat for the better part of three games before he erupted on Sunday night., which tied the series, 2-2. Jimmy Butler dazzled once again for Miami, but he went at it alone for much of the game. Here are three thoughts on the 76ers evening up the series.
He finished with a team-high 31 points and attempted a playoff-high 18 field goals. Harden’s throwback performance included six threes, nine free throws, nine assists and yes, six turnovers. It was the full Harden experience that Daryl Morey signed up for when he shipped off Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and two firsts to Brooklyn with a championship duo in mind.
Harden’s scoring in the second half tailed off in each game against the Heat. After putting together a strong two quarters, he’d wither away in the final 24 minutes. Harden managed just two second-half points in the Game 2 win after scoring 15 in the first. After not scoring in the third, he accounted for 16 of his team’s 27 points in the final frame on Sunday. That included four back-breaking threes, the last of which was a 28-footer that put Philadelphia up 11 with 1:07 to play.
