After shouldering the blame for the Sixers' loss to Miami in Game 2, Danny Green stepped up in Game 3 to the tune of 21 points. He is looking to carry that momentum over into tonight's Game 4.
Danny Green took the blame for the 76ers’ Game 2 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals, saying, “I didn’t do my job” when he shot 1-for-9 from three-point range.
After a trying season interrupted by multiple injuries, Green has put up some of his best performances during the past month. Six of his 14 double-digit scoring outings entering Sunday have come since April 7. He has moved back into the starting lineup, partially because Matisse Thybulle’s unvaccinated status prevented him from playing in Toronto. Entering Sunday, Green was shooting 37.3% on 7.4 three-point attempts per game during the playoffs.
That “wasn’t much of a decision for us,” Rivers said. That shifted the Sixers back to their sub pattern used during their first-round series against the Raptors. Rivers added that Jordan understood his role would change when Embiid came back, and that Jordan has been a veteran resource from the bench while Reed gets critical playoff minutes for the first time in his career.
Sixers standout forward Tobias Harris is one of 10 nominees for the NBA Cares Community Assist award. “I had to drive like 45 minutes … and they had like six of them,” Harris said Saturday. “And no other store had any of them, so I was like, ‘Man, give me them all real quick.’ So that was fun, just being on a mission to go get all the gifts for the kids and seeing the smiles on their faces.”
