— provided further evidence that Harden’s 45-point Game 1 outburst was the stunning exception, not a reasonable expectation as the Sixers try to claw back from their 2-1 series deficit beginning with Sunday afternoon’s Game 4.“I’ve got to watch the game,” Harden said of his struggles in a locker-room postgame media session that lasted less than two minutes. “But I’m pretty good on basketball instincts. I know when to score. I know when to pass. I’m pretty sure a lot of them were the right play.
Later, when a De’Anthony Melton three-pointer got the Sixers back within 95-89 with 7:35 left, another Harden long ball clanked off the back of the rim, and Boston’s Malcolm Brogdon went 2-of-2 from the free-throw line. About a minute after that, Harden was booed when he ignored another apparent free driving lane to the basket, though his pass out to the perimeter eventually wound up in Melton’s hands for another three-pointer.
