James Harden picked a good time to have arguably his best game since joining the Philadelphia 76ers in February.
The former MVP led the Sixers to a 116-108 Game 4 victory over the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday night, scoring a team-high 31 points to help the hosts even the series at 2-2. Game 5 will take place in Miami at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
