“Our spacing wasn’t right and this is a make-or-miss league,” Harden said. “... For us, we’ve just got to do a better job of knowing where we are on the floor and just allowing each other to have space and to generate shots — easier shots.”Joel Embiid wants his MVP story to serve as inspiration: ‘Improbable doesn’t mean impossible’
