Joe Harris was superb in the opening half against the Pacers as the Nets cemented their spot in the postseason. Here’s a breakdown of the important performance from the league’s best perimeter shooter.
Not great footage from the NBA site, but Harris makes a good cut and is rewarded by Russell with the feed for the opening points of the game pic.twitter.com/Os1MTpoxiG

Great synergy between the two again. As Russell brings it up the court you can see the immediate look he gives Harris, almost indicating him to make a move.

Allen makes the quality screen which gives Harris a line to the basket, as D'Lo makes the lovely feed pic.twitter.com/GIIvcQFoAa
Harris cuts around the perimeter and to the basket again with purpose. Russell makes these sort of passes in his sleep and they make for such a pretty play pic.twitter.com/zAD8NpqBua

Dinwiddie passes up the open three and with good reason. When you have the best three point shooter in the league on the perimeter, you feed him pic.twitter.com/8XSdvafb3a

D'Lo misses the three but follows up the miss and gets the kick out pass to Harris at the top of the perimeter pic.twitter.com/GyvxMhxQrc

The penetration by LeVert draws the defense in as he makes the kick out pass to Dinwiddie, then Dinwiddie whips it to Harris.

The scrambling defense and accurate passing gives Harris the time and space needed to get the shot off pic.twitter.com/3dLsuBY7kw
