James Harden finishes with 12 points and 14 assists in his first game against Philadelphia since being traded by the 76ers, but it wasn't enough to save the Clippers.
There was little love lost when James Harden forced his way out of the City of Brotherly Love last November. When Harden refused to show up during the preseason then refused to play in the regular season, the Sixers swallowed hard and sent the former MVP to the Clippers in a seven-player deal that arguably changed the fortunes of both teams. “He got what he wanted,” former teammate Joel Embiid said. On Sunday, the teams met for the first time since the trade.
The Sixers, meanwhile, entered Sunday having lost seven of their last 10 and will finish with their worst record in at least seven seasons — which is why Harden is likely to get a rude welcome when the Clippers open their second-longest trip of the season Wednesday in Philadelphia. At one point the well-traveled Harden, who has played for five teams, said he hoped to retire in Philadelphia.
