Holy offense, Batman!
The Sixers outlasted the Indiana Pacers in a 147-143 shootout Monday night. Joel Embiid dropped 42 points on 16 shots, Tyrese Maxey scored at least 20 points for the fifth straight game, James Harden dished out 20 assists, and Jalen McDaniels had his best game as a Sixer.
At the start of yet another back-to-back, the Sixers were without some key depth pieces, as Tobias Harris and P.J. Tucker missed Monday night’s action with left calf soreness and back spasms, respectively.
Here are some instant takeaways from the win.
First Quarter
- Jalen McDaniels acclimated himself fairly well to the starting lineup, as he got a layup on the first possession of the game rolling for James Harden.
