Dylan Harper is generating plenty of buzz this postseason. He’s been lighting it up for the San Antonio Spurs, and even though he is a rookie, he has consistently risen to the occasion when the challenge gets tougher. He had a slow start to the season, but he is making up for lost time and is now regarded as one of the Spurs’ most important players.
His team is entering Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks trailing 0-2 after dropping both home games. Game 2 was especially heartbreaking, as they lost by just one point following a costly error by star Victor Wembanyama.
The Spurs must play with a sense of urgency from this point forward, and Harper said he is built for moments like these.
“Desperation. I think for me, I feel like I’m at my best when I play with that type of desperation, and I think that’s what’s kind of needed for this occasion,” Harper said on Sunday when asked about his approach for the next two games.
“I feel like I’m going to go out there and no matter what the circumstances, I think if I’m not playing with that type of fire or grit, I’m doing a disservice to everyone.”
