Injury Report
Philadelphia 76ers
Tobias Harris PF Day-To-Day Jan 14
Georges Niang SF Day-To-Day Jan 14

Utah Jazz
Kelly Olynyk PF Out Jan 11
Lauri Markkanen PF Day-To-Day Jan 14
Rudy Gay SF Out Jan 14
Collin Sexton PG Out Jan 14

I wonder if Melton starts for either Harris or Tucker with Harris being day to day plus the Jazz run a 3-guard rotation with Markkanen as the only F.

Impressive 41pt 1st quarter from the Sixers. Hope they can keep it up.

76ers cool off considerably in the 2nd quarter and allow a 19pt lead to dwindle to 4 before an Embiid buzzer beating trey builds it back to 10 at halftime.

Rebounding and perimeter defense vs athletic lineups is gonna kill this team in the playoffs.

Jazz are getting too many easy buckets in the paint while the Sixers are settling for 3balls and not making them.

Nothing but jacked up outside shots.

No one can or will put the ball on the floor and get to the rim. Utah is doing it at will and that's how they got back in this game.

Harden has taken over with 16 straight pts.

No answers for Clarkson.
