Stiles Points: Isaiah Hartenstein Called His Shot With Isaiah Joe

"I felt it coming," said Hartenstein after the game. "I knew we were going to run that play, and I signaled to Joe to be ready for the pass."

Moments later, point guard Tyrese Maxey executed the play, driving towards the basket and finding Hartenstein cutting to the rim. As Hartenstein received the pass, he immediately kicked it out to Joe, who was lurking in the corner.

Joe, who had struggled with his shot early in the game, buried the three-pointer, giving the Sixers a 10-point lead with just over three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

"I was ready for it," said Joe. "When 'Stein' passed me the ball, I knew I had to make that shot. It felt good."

Sixers coach Doc Rivers praised Hartenstein's foresight. "Isaiah's a smart player," said Rivers. "He saw the play developing and made a great call. That was a huge play for us."

Joe's three-pointer proved pivotal, as the Sixers went on to win the game 103-98. The win snapped a three-game losing streak and kept the Sixers in contention for a playoff berth.

Hartenstein's ability to anticipate plays could become an invaluable asset for the Sixers. By reading the game and communicating effectively, he can help set up his teammates for success.

"We have a lot of potential on this team," said Hartenstein. "If we can continue to trust each other and make the right plays, we can make a deep run in the playoffs."
