Embrace Maxey Mania, and Trust the endless Process, and behold the resurrection of Tobias Harris, but know this:
The Sixers don’t beat the Raptors in Game 1 on Saturday without a virtuoso performance from The Beard.
No one had more at stake. No one felt more pressure. And James Harden responded with his smoothest game since he became the Sixers’ mercenary point guard: Twenty-two points, 14 assists, and one — 1 — turnover. And that one was Harris’ fault.
