James Harden and Joel Embiid starred Wednesday night as the Sixers salvaged a split against the Magic with a 105-94 win at Wells Fargo Center. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The Sixers’ first of three straight road games before the Feb. 9 trade deadline will be Friday night against the Spurs. Here are observations on their victory Wednesday:While Harden and Embiid each earned early trips to the foul line, the Sixers were irritated with the officiating just as they’d been Monday.
Georges Niang helped right the ship by taking a charge on Fultz. He then made a basic but positive play offensively, feeding Embiid on a re-post. Embiid drop stepped and laid the ball in for two of his 16 first-quarter points. He also made four free throws and set Matisse Thybulle up for two by spotting his baseline cut.
At power forward, Rivers turned to Niang when Tucker picked up his third foul with 4:43 left in the second quarter. Rookie of the Year favorite Banchero won that matchup handily, knocking down two mid-range jumpers and drawing Niang’s third foul. Despite impressive individual shotmaking from Harden and Embiid, the Sixers could not meaningfully extend their advantage in the third quarter. Tobias Harris provided a couple of timely buckets to help them at least stay in front, including a fast-break layup and a corner three off of a slick, lefty Maxey feed.
