Tobias Harris has done every little thing the Sixers have needed him to through the first two games of their first-round series against the Nets. And despite the Sixers’ poor first half in Game 2, they hold a 2-0 lead. Thanks not just to Joel Embiid dominance or Tyrese Maxey scoring explosions, but the balanced play of others like Harris as well.
Through two games, Harris has averaged 20.5 points on 60.7/66.7/100 shooting splits, eight rebounds and three assists per game. That’s awfully good production for a fourth option.
In Game 2, when the Sixers really needed the extra help to get back on track after a rough first half, Harris added nine points on 4-of-4 shooting in the third quarter and finished the night with 20 points and 12 rebounds, including five offensive boards as he remained physical and persistent in fighting for second chances.
