This series is far from over, but this is probably the most satisfying victory of the Process era.

Tremendous games by Embiid and Maxey. And House was huge off the bench.

And Al Horford finally delivered an MVP performance for the Sixers.

Wow. As I've been saying. This series isn't about Embiid and Harden, or even Maxey. It's about whether 2 others can be a factor. House and Harris come through in a big way. Makes you wonder what if in Game 3 Rivers played his athletic players, like House, rather than shrinking the bench .

Meant double digit win.

Most shocking and biggest Sixer win in 22 years

Need max intensity and effort on Thursday

How important is +/-

Anything tempered by the fact that House was -8?

Nope.

He was on the floor in garbage time when they gave up a lot of points with little resistance.

Love the take that that was the best performance of the Process Era. I'm especially happy for Embiid.

But still so much work to do. The Celtics died by the the 3ball tonight. Let's hope they wilt on Thursday.

No he should get every Niang minute.

He is a better defender and can actually finish at the rim.

A big reason Sixers won tonight is JB and Tatum (I know they had points) but they looked like they were getting worn down a bit by Tucker/Harris/Melton/House leaning on them.

Sixers need that D on Thursday.

Boston is gonna come out firing on all cylanders and they got to find a way to stop them hard right out of the gate.

Gimmie that 30 point Maxey again.

satisfying win. what this team could be with effort and aggressiveness, which are totally within the players control (looking at you harris).

fwiw, the last 3 2nd round series, the Sixers were down 3-2 and had to win game 6 to force a 7th game. They have to close it out tomorrow night, at home.
