Tobias Harris’ game-winning jumper in the final seconds of the 107-106 Sixers win over the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers had barely nestled in the nets and Magic Johnson jumped on Twitter.
The Lakers legend gave Harris and the Sixers some seriously high praise on the social media platform:
That was the most exciting NBA game this season! Tobias Harris hit the game winning shot for the Sixers and finished with 24 points. MVP candidate Embiid had 28. I wouldn’t be surprised if these two teams were in the NBA Finals!

The moves made by Sixers President Daryl Morey — signing Danny Green, Dwight Howard, and Seth Curry — have made the Sixers a championship caliber team.
