Devin Harris Does The Unthinkable
February 24th, 2009
What a game that transpired between the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Nets last night! And just when it looked like Andre Iguodala had hoisted Philly to victory by making a free throw with 1.8 seconds left in the game, a miracle hailed down at the Meadowlands.
Off the inbounds pass, a lightning-quick Harris lunges a 47-foot prayer at the basket…..AND MAKES IT! After much review by the officials, the basket is counted and the Nets win 98-96 and snap a five-game losing streak. More impressive than just the fact he made this beyond-halfcourt shot, is the detail that Iguodala, who was guarding Harris, had actually knocked the ball out of Harris’ hands prior to the shot. Instead of a turnover, Harris recovered and threw up a game winner, finishing the game with 39 points and 8 assists.
Now that’s handles.
