Joel marked his words mentioning how happy he was for the team winning against the Charlotte’s, “We won,” Embiid said. ‘‘It’s good to do that when you win. … I’m just happy that I’m contributing when we are winning.”
The 2018 MVP Harden also marked Embiids performance and praised him by saying ”He was in attack mode for the entire game,” Harden said. ”He made scoring look easy tonight. He was aggressive getting to the basket and his jumper was falling.” James himself had an impactful game with 19 points and 16 assists.
Steve Clifford who is leading Hornets as a head coach appreciated his team’s performance, ”We had good intent tonight,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. ”The first six or seven minutes of the game, we had good defence. Our transition defence was a problem tonight and we have to fix that. Besides Joel, that was the story of the first half. But we did a lot of good things.”
