Daily News | Sixers lose 114-102 to Boston Celtics in Game 3, exposing their inconsistencies once again
The opening game of this series showed what the 76ers could be. The second revealed what they are. And in Game 3, they were back to showing potential, just not enough to win a championship.
The Sixers point guard looked nothing like a guy who torched the Celtics for 45 points in Game 1. Harden finished with 16 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and five turnovers. The 33-year-old looked slow and, at times, unsure of himself. Tyrese Maxey also needs to play better for the Sixers to have any opportunity to win this series. He had 13 points on 4-for-16 shooting along with six rebounds and two blocks.
