James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers took on the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center. Harden was up against his old team and he had something to prove to them. The Sixers looked to get a win over their Eastern Conference rivals.
But things went differently than the Sixers would have hoped for. They got blown out by Kevin Durant and the Nets in their own house. James Harden might have broken Reggie Miller’s record, but he did not have a great game. He scored only 11 points on 3-17 shooting and couldn’t get his teammates going either. This was an embarrassing defeat for the Sixers and James Harden. But the loss didn’t seem to affect James Harden, as he was seen partying the same day with Lil Baby and Travis Scott. Harden is known to be a close friend to the two stars and also known to be a party person.

Classic Harden. Plays like crap but goes to the club to celebrate his bad play.

The Nets take care of business in Philly
The Nets came into town with one thing on their mind. Get the win for Ben Simmons. Simmons was heckled, harassed, and booed by the Sixers fans and this seemed to motivate them. And they also wanted to show James Harden why he shouldn’t have left.

The Nets started off hot, and they built a 17 point lead by the end of the first quarter. Kevin Durant was leading the charge in the first half as he went right at Joel Embiid. The duo was seen having a few words. The Nets did not seem satisfied as they kept piling up on the Sixers. At one point, they even built it up to 36. The starters checked out after the third quarter as the Nets had put the Sixers away by then.
