The former MVP made his highly-anticipated Debut with his new team on Friday, helping the 76ers pull off a 133-102 blowout win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Harden fit in seamlessly alongside superstar center Joel Embiid and co., elevating the team on the offensive end to help Philadelphia cruise to an easy victory.
Going into this contest, I was particularly curious to see how the addition of Harden would affect Embiid's MVP-level play and Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris' role on offense.
And that's just one instance – there were a handful of others where Harden found Embiid for a bucket or used their superstar gravity to find an open man on the perimeter.
The spacing was beautiful, he set the table for easy looks for his teammates and knew exactly when to attack and put pressure on the defense as a scorer.
Harden and the 76ers are back in action at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, taking on the New York Knicks at 1 p.m.
