James Harden wasn’t great in his first game in Brooklyn as a member of the Clippers, but Harden’s struggles gave Nets announcer Ian Eagle a chance to shine.
Wednesday night was Harden’s second game with his new team, and the Nets won, 100–93, as the former Brooklyn star managed just 12 points, eight rebounds and five assists. He also had five turnovers, one of which was laugh-out-loud funny.
Early in the second quarter, Harden tried to find Paul George with a cross-court pass. But he totally airmailed it and threw it right into Eagle’s lap. Eagle, one of the best announcers in the business, had a brilliant call of Harden’s blunder.
