Man, what a back-breaker for the Sixers. Knicks didn't play well and stole it anyway. And I'm just not sure how much Embiid has left to give them. Maxey had a good game overall but made some massive errors at the end. Crucially, he laid on the ground after the turnover while the Knicks recovered the ball, launched a three that bricked off, recovered the offensive board, and launched a second three that splashed. No room for pouting on the floor during live action. Get your ass up and get in the play.
Philly deserve a great amount of credit for their defense on Jalen Brunson in these two games. Nurse made a great move to put a bigger body on Brunson instead of either of his guards Maxey or Lowry. K Oubre has caused Brunson a lot of problems. Even Batum despite his advanced age has caused Brunson problems.Brunson with 24pts today but on 8-29 FGA and 7-9 FTA. 33 possessions to get 24pts. Terrible efficiency. Great coaching. Great defense by Philly players. This is what has allowed them to be so competitive in these first two games. They have taken Brunson out of the series.
Why was Maxey giving the ball to Embiid at 30 feet from the bucket with 1 second left. Horrible last play.
Jokic has a double double already. Haha, that is ridiculous. 10pts 10reb in one quarter. 2 steals 1 assist. 3-4 from the field with 2 threes. The guy is a cheat code.
