The Sixers squandered a double-digit lead, but they came through the chaos for a 129-126 overtime win Wednesday night over the Pacers without Joel Embiid. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The Bulls will visit Wells Fargo Center on Friday night. Here are observations on the Sixers' OT win Wednesday:The Sixers were 2-0 in late October with the starting lineup of Harden, Tyrese Maxey, De’Anthony Melton, Tobias Harris and P.J. Tucker.
With 4:40 left in the first quarter, Tucker limped off with what seemed to be a lower-leg injury. He headed back to the locker room with head athletic trainer Kevin Johnson, but the 37-year-old returned to the bench and checked into the game with 6:58 left in the second quarter. Tucker’s mobility was clearly below his norm and he grimaced a few times while taking jumpers before the second half. He played 25 minutes on the night.
Georges Niang finished an unselfish, rapid passing sequence early in the fourth quarter by drilling a three from the top of the key. Milton, Niang and Harrell all scored in double figures and the Sixers' four-man bench posted 48 points on 19-for-25 shooting overall.The Sixers frequently trusted whatever he wanted to do late in the shot clock and set tons of ball screens to get him the switches he desired.
While a few of their late-game giveaways were excusable — a moving screen call on Melton seemed harsh, for instance — the team's lapses in concentration and severe struggles against the Pacers' ball pressure were certainly avoidable. After a Hield three cut the Pacers' deficit to 112-111, Harden was trapped in the backcourt and the Sixers were assessed an eight-second violation. Harrell subbed in for Tucker.
