On Friday night, the Philadelphia 76ers returned to their home court to get back into the win column. With several rotation players out due to injury, one player stepped up in a big way on offense. The Sixers managed to defeat the Sacramento Kings with a final score of 112:93. The main catalyst for the win was Tobias Harris, who caught fire early and never looked back. Harris finished the game with 37 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. That resulted in his career-high 39. The veteran forward had several chances at the end, but couldn’t get away until Nick Nurse pulled him and the other starters.
After the loss, Kings coach Mike Brown was asked about Harris’ performance. After a strong all-round outing, he had nothing but praise. andquot;You have to give Philly credit. I thought Tobias Harris was going to have a monster game for them. I know he was 37, 14-25. Man, it looked like he was 21-25 andquot; Brown said. andquot;He somehow, somehow missed – what is it, 11 shots? Yes. But you have to give him credit. He was really good for them tonight.andquot; That performance from Harris was much needed because the Sixers didn’t have much offensive firepower of their own. In addition to Joel Embiid being sidelined, Kelly Oubre was also delayed due to sore toes. Fortunately for the Sixers, Harris and Tyrese Maxey (21 points, four assists) were able to end their recent losing streak
