From an offensive perspective, T.J. McConnell gave the Philadelphia 76ers exactly what they had been missing—explosive energy, composure, and relentless aggression. During one highlight play, after finishing a layup, he looked at his hand in disbelief, as if asking himself, “Did I really just do that?” That image quickly became a symbol of a night where McConnell captured the hearts of the Philadelphia crowd. Every time he touched the ball in the fourth quarter, fans chanted “T.J., T.J.” in unison.
