James Harden hits clutch 3 to win the game vs Heat
James Harden has been the most criticized player this year. Last year, James Harden was traded to the Brooklyn Nets. For a team already having Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, they were expected to win a title. When the trio played together, they were a 67 win team. The only problem is that they barely played together. Despite the Nets being the first team to earn a playoff spot, they slid into the second seed. In the playoffs, Giannis and the Bucks beat them.
James Harden came into 2022 focused on avenging the 2021 loss. After a slow start, the Brooklyn Nets claimed the first seed. However, without Kyrie Irving, the Nets could not sustain, so they unraveled and had an eleven game losing streak. During that streak, James Harden was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. Many expected the Sixers to take over the East, seeing how Joel Embiid was already playing well. It was not the case.
James Harden and the Sixers held on to reach the fourth seed in the East. In the first round, the Sixers struggled to knock the Toronto Raptors off. As a result, Joel Embiid got injured in Game 6. While the Sixers easily won Game 6, they were shorthanded facing Miami. After losing two games, the Sixers responded with two home wins. Harden was personally responsible for Game 4’s win. He hit a clutch three pointer to ice the game.
