[Gennosuke]

Nice little run to finish off the 1st allows the Sixers to grab a 4pt lead after starting off the game very slowly.

[BelmontShore]

76ers still struggle with hyper athletic players and allow dribble penetration at a frightening high level.

[BelmontShore]

Harris killing them on the offensive and defensive end.

Can't guard anyone. Leaves guys when he shouldn't. Can't stay in front of anyone. Letting guys beat him on the boards. He's playing scared on offense, missing shots he should bury.

Nurse needs to sit him.

Morey needs to move him.

[Gennosuke]

Not having Batum and now Melton leaves the Sixers deficient in passing and ball handling.

[Gennosuke]

Embiid doing everything he can to keep the Sixers in the game, but he's gonna need help against this Minny team.

[Gennosuke]

JoJo with another sensational 3 quarter effort (39pts 10rebs), but gonna have to play some crucial minutes in the 4th for the Sixers to get a win.

[Gennosuke]

Be nice if Tobias could step up in the 4th with Embiid getting a rest, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Gennosuke]

Sixers did a great job of increasing their lead with Embiid on the bench.

[Gennosuke]

11 pt lead with 3:37 left.

Sixers must find a way to hold on for the victory.
