James Harden - 1
To commence their 41-game home slate, the Philadelphia 76ers welcomed the Milwaukee Bucks to Wells Fargo Center on Thursday evening. A lackluster shooting night and performance from Joel Embiid prevented them from completing a second-half comeback. In a game that went down to the final 30 seconds, Milwaukee won, 90-88. James Harden played like a superstar for the second consecutive game. De’Anthony Melton and P.J. Tucker provided crucial minutes. It’s time to talk Bell Ringer. Let’s get to it.
James Harden - 31 points, nine assists, eight rebounds, two steals, one block
