🏀 James Harden shined in his role with the Sixers in Game 1. NBAPlayoffs
After the win, he alluded to working with Rivers on figuring out the ideal lineups when Joel Embiid sits. De’Anthony Melton, Jalen McDaniels, Georges Niang and Paul Reed did well off the bench alongside Harden in the playoff opener.
“Tonight was a great example of that. That unit is going to be extremely key starting the second quarters, starting the fourth quarters. That’s a big part of the game, and if we can manage it and be even or even take the lead, that’s a bonus for us. Tonight was a great start for us and we’ve got to be even better in Game 2.”The Sixers' head coach gave a detailed answer Sunday, offering insight into the regular dialogue between himself and his 10-time All-Star point guard.
“I think Paul in particular has kind of grown in James’ confidence. That’s important for James, to be able to trust that he can pass it to him and he’ll finish — and that Paul will make the right play. And that’s what James had a major concern with.
