[BelmontShore]

Decent start, A bit sloppy mid quarter.

[BelmontShore]

Of course, this asshole shooting 22% from 3 bangs down both his 3pt shots with the clock running down.

[BelmontShore]

Sixers can't match 3pt shooting vs too many of these athletic teams. They can't make up the difference with 2s or conventional 3pt plays.

[BelmontShore]

OKC shooting 44%(7) from 3, 76ers shooting 27(4)%.

That's a lot to overcome.

[BelmontShore]

Really nice, professional game from start to finish on this one. OKC made some runs, had a lead for a little bit, but the 76ers rode a strong 3rd Q to pull away and stay away. Tough team to play. They just never give up. They played the end of this one the way they played and beat GS, in GS.

[BelmontShore]

The 76ers having a big who can make FTs like Embiid has a great advantage, close and late.
