Maxey started off slow again with a scoreless 1st quarter, but bounced back with 12 in the 2nd.

Bench getting outscored again, this time 20 -5.

Without Oubre and/or Batum, the holes on this team are exposed. They still are not long enough, fast enough or athletic enough. They can't rebound if Embiid has to challenge or extend to the 3pt line. They can't catch up in fast breaks. They can't stay in front of their man, too much dribble drive allowed. They can't put the ball on the floor. There is only one ball handler. Maxey. They also have trouble with entry passes to Embiid.

DHouse is in da house tonight!

House finally playing well.

His athleticism is much needed..

Sixers playing tough D in the 4th with Embiid resting.

Springer has played the entire 4th quarter so far with under 2 mins left.

Sixers win easily even though Maxey didn't score in the 4th quarter.

Huge game from Tobias and from DHouse off the bench. Springer provides solid 2-way play in 22 mins.

Embiid's teammates show up for him, including a bench effort, finally. House.and Springer on offense and Reed on defense.
