This James Harden guy might be pretty good.
The former MVP was extraordinary in his debut leading the Sixers to a 133-102 drubbing of the Timberwolves at Target Center Friday night. The victory improves the Sixers to 36-23 on the season. They’ll be at Madison Square Garden Sunday for a matinee matchup with the Knicks.
The Sixers had a clean injury report for the first time this season. The Timberwolves were missing reserve guard Malik Beasley (non-COVID illness).
Here are a few observations from a fun-filled evening.
First quarter
- On the first pick-and-roll action between Joel Embiid and James Harden, Embiid rolled to the basket.
