Celtics' Jaylen Brown: 'My Fault' James Harden Was Open for Game-Winning Shot in G4

James Harden hit arguably the biggest shot of his postseason career Sunday as he made the game-winner in the 76ers' 116-115 Game 4 victory over the Boston Celtics at the Wells Fargo Center to tie the series back up at 2-2.

He got a great look in the corner off an assist from Joel Embiid, who was getting doubled by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown before kicking it out.

Brown was late on the closeout as Harden drained the shot, and he took full responsibility in his postgame press conference.

"That's my fault. I take full accountability," Brown said. "Just a bad read."

Following up on his 45-point outburst in Game 1, Harden was back to his best following a couple of down performances in the following two games. He finished Sunday with a game-high 42 points, nine assists, eight rebounds and four steals in the win.

While he may feel at fault for the play, Brown was kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. Embiid had a huge size advantage and a mismatch on Tatum and likely would've managed to score fairly easily in the post if Brown wouldn't have come on the double.

Such is the gravity of the newly crowned MVP, and it got Philadelphia the overtime win in a game that it desperately needed.

Typically a very good defensive team, the Celtics struggled as a whole on that end of the floor in Game 4, as Harden and Embiid combined for 76 points and the 76ers managed to shoot a decent 46.2 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from three-point range.

They also took very good care of the ball, turning it over just seven times.

They will need plenty more of that if they want to upset the reigning Eastern Conference champions.
