Daily News | Tobias Harris’ timely shots epitomize Sixers’ turnaround against Memphis Grizzlies
When the 76ers’ forward’s three-point attempt from the right corner with less than five minutes to play Thursday night landed nowhere near the rim, he felt the crowd grumble . Yet his internal dialogue in the moment was “shoot the next one.”
Harris scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter against the Western Conference’s second-best team, including one deep shot that cut the Sixers’ deficit to one point and then his go-ahead shot from the same spot on the floor with 39.1 seconds to play. Harris also guarded Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant for large chunks of the second half, and sealed the Sixers’ win with two free throws in the final seconds.“He had confidence to knock it down,” Harden said of Harris.
He made just 28.6% of his three-point attempts in the 25 games from Dec. 23 through Feb. 13, before going 3-of-4 from long range against the Cleveland Cavaliers in his final game before the respite. It was an uncharacteristically extended lull for a player who has flirted with 50/40/90 shooting seasons, and who uses a variety of resources, such as a bigger ball and glasses that simulate defender close-outs, to sharpen his catch-and-release timing and form.
