After no-showing in Game 1 of the Sixers-Nets playoff series, Tobias Harris has since upped his contributions. Over the last three games, Harris is averaging 24.0 points on 51% from the field and has a 61.9% true shooting mark. The scoring surge is exactly what Sixers fans envisioned getting from Harris when Elton Brand acquired him at the deadline.
But the increased scoring activity out of Harris hasn’t simply been a matter of hitting shots at higher clip, though he has shot better recently compared to his regular season play in Philly. Brett Brown has prescribed an increase in pick-and-roll possessions for Harris and it has allowed Harris to increase his effectiveness in the Sixers’ playoff offense.
