Sixers forward Tobias Harris exploded for 53 points in two playoff games in Brooklyn.
When Saturday’s Game 4 ended with the Sixers pulling out a 112-108 triumph, the 30 happiest fans inside Barclays Center came via the Long Island Rail Road — Harris’ family.
And there was also one other relative not in attendance, but watching a short drive away — Harris’ 94-year-old grandmother known as “Grandma B.” She has lived her whole life in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Harris, who grew up in Dix Hills, Long Island, and has six siblings, paid “Grandma B’’ a visit on Friday.
“It’s always good playing here,’’ Harris told The Post after scoring 24 points with eight rebounds and six assists Saturday. “I love playing when family can come down. My grandma sits in her house in Brooklyn and I know she watches all the games. I got to see her [Friday] and she was telling me she still is watching all my games. She told me to get the win.’’
A Knicks fan growing up, Harris’ trade from the Clippers to the Sixers at the deadline could impact his hometown team. Harris is a free agent and turned down the Clippers’ $80 million extension offer.
That prompted the Clippers to deal Harris to move toward having cap space for two max slots. Especially if Kawhi Leonard opts to re-sign in Toronto, the Clippers could become a major challenger to the Knicks for Kevin Durant, seen chatting amiably with Clippers executive Jerry West, a former Warriors’ exec, before Game 3.
Harris said he didn’t want to discuss rumors of Durant coming to New York, but admitted his own future is uncertain.
The Sixers could be at a crossroads. If they don’t get to the Eastern Conference Finals, there could be a lot of changes. Volatile Jimmy Butler is a free agent, too.
“We’ll see what happens and what the future holds,’’ said Harris, who played in high school at Half Hallow Hills West and Long Island Lutheran. “Only thing I’m locked in on is the playoffs and helping our team win and not looking ahead right now. I’m trying to stay in the moment. [Durant] has nothing to do with our team.’’
His father, Torrel Harris, also his son’s agent, agreed it is too soon to talk about his future. The Post’s Brian Lewis has reported the Nets will have strong interest in Harris.
Though the Knicks like Harris as a fit in David Fizdale’s position-less offense because he plays a lot of point forward, team brass is adamant about not giving out maximum contracts to players it doesn’t consider as franchise-changing No. 1 options who can carry a club on their backs.
In fact, president Steve Mills told The Post last week, “We’re not going to sign the wrong players just because we have room and the fans have great expectations.”
Torrel hopes it works out in Philly anyway.
“We’re worried about the playoffs right now,’’ said Torrel Harris, wearing a Sixers cap. “We’re hoping the future is the 76ers. Tobias loves it in Philly. Let’s see if they can get to the championship and win a chip.”
Harris is on his fifth team in eight seasons. An NBA coaching source says the past knock on Harris, traded twice by coach Scott Skiles, is he’s “not gritty enough, doesn’t have enough winning DNA,” pointing to the Clippers’ rise after being dealt.
But Harris, 26, continues to blossom in Philly, showing defensive toughness, too. On Saturday, he sank two game-sealing free throws with 4.6 seconds left.
Harris chose to wear jersey No. “33’’ in Philly because “34’’ — his father’s number — is immortalized by Charles Barkley. He decided to come close to “34’’ while signifying his 3-point shooting prowess.
Harris seemed nonplussed over the Sixers’ 3-1 series lead.
“We’re supposed to win these two games,’’ Harris said of the dual wins in Brooklyn. “We came in here expecting to win these two games and we got to go home and close it out.’’
