The MVP of the night | A royal exit for Tobias Harris

It is unclear when the last time spectators at the Wells Fargo Center chanted the name of Tobias Harris. “ It was nice to hear the audience singing “, appreciate the Sixers power forward who had reason to be celebrated by local fans for his performance against the Kings.

The 31-year-old player has not always been able to assume his status as an offensive executive for the Sixers this season during games missed by their leader, Joel Embiid. This night, in this context, he was able to raise his level of play by scoring 14 points in the first quarter, his best total of the year over a period of 12 minutes.

3-point shot with first intention in transition, penetration finished with a dunk with the foul… Tobias Harris displayed a high level of confidence throughout the evening. So much so that the Kings had to adapt by stopping two holds on Tyrese Maxey, which allowed the latter to free himself.

His record with the Sixers

While the gap was made in the fourth quarter, Tobias Harris continued to shoot to reach 37 units (14/25 on shots including 3/7 from distance), 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 interceptions. His highest point total in six seasons in Philadelphia and his best performance since a 39-point outing with the Clippers at the end of 2018.

I would have liked the match to be closer, because I probably would have reached 40 points! », laughs the person who came out of a 32-point match against Atlanta. Score 30 points or more two games in a row? This is definitely a career first for the former Magic, Pistons and Clippers!

His performance last night is all the more notable as he was responsible for defending Domantas Sabonis (only 14 points at 6/10) opposite. “ He played hard on both ends of the court, it was good for him to hold up. But (at the break) I told him to forget the first half (editor’s note: 23 points scored) and prepare to start again. I think he did a good job », greets Nick Nurse.

Personally, it's important to have a big match like that, from a confidence, preparation point of view… Beyond that, the way we played tonight to win, everyone showed up efficient and helpful. This is what we needed from the group. This kind of energy from others, pushing me to keep going, means more than anything. I love playing with this group of players », Enthuses the hero of the evening.
