The 76ers power forward’s game-high 30 points was a message that he should have been an NBA All-Star. You would be hard pressed to find someone in disagreement on either team after the Sixers’ 99-96 victory Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

Here’s a look at the best and worst awards from Tuesday’s game:
Best performance
Harris gets this. In addition to his game-high points, the power forward had six rebounds, two blocks and one steal. He made 4 of 6 three-pointers. Harris also scored eight of his points in the fourth quarter. Late in the game, Harris had a message for the NBA coaches who didn’t vote him on the All-Star team, yelling “I’m an All-Star” after a clutch basket.
Danny Green gets this. The Sixers small forward’s defense made up for a horrid shooting performance. He had a game-high four steals to go with one block. Offensively, he missed 9 of 10 shots to score three points.
Worst statistic
This goes to the Knicks’ foul shooting. They made 14 of 22 attempts for 63.6%.
Best statistic
This goes to the Sixers’ having zero turnovers in fourth quarter.
