Ah, early November. Those were much simpler times in the NBA. Most teams had played only about 10 games and were figuring out how talented they were. A great game to assess how truly skilled 2 teams were relative to each other was on November 7th. On that date, Domantas Sabonis and the Indiana Pacers hosted Joel Embiid and the 76ers.
The 6-5 76ers had felt mostly innocuous up to that point in the season, while the Pacers were relatively fresh off an unbelievable win over the Boston Celtics, a game in which Victor Oladipo put on a masterclass in clutch performing.
