The Sixers Got the James Harden They Wanted. Now What?

Harden has looked like his old self in Philadelphia, but does the team have enough to really win it all?

On Feb. 25, James Harden made a brilliant first impression for the third time in his career, finishing with 27 points, 12 assists, eight rebounds and a season-best +35 in his debut with the Sixers–a 133–102 blowout against the Timberwolves.

One moment in particular really stood out. Early in the second quarter, Harden waited on the right wing with his hands by his side, looking on as Tobias Harris attempted to save a broken play on the opposite side of the floor.
