Harden was acquired earlier this month in the trade that sent Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets, and he made his debut for the 76ers against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night.   

The game on Sunday was a competitive one that saw both team's take leads throughout the game, but the 76ers ran away with it at the end.   

The Knicks fell to 25-36 with the loss, and they are currently the 12th seed in the Eastern Conference.   

Meanwhile, the 76ers improved to 37-23, which has them as the third seed in the east.

Referees getting paid by the whistle tonight. Too many stoppages on both ends of court. Not the best viewing.
