PHILADELPHIA — James Harden willed the Sixers back in the final quarter. P.J. Tucker broke the tie with less than a minute to play.
But Harden could not cap his second consecutive exceptional outing with a game-winner in the 76ers’ home opener.
Harden’s leaner on the baseline bounced off the rim with four seconds to play, preserving the Milwaukee Bucks’ 90-88 victory Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center in a matchup of teams expected to finish near the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
