Tonight, the Sixers beat the Knicks in their first road game of the season. Here are some quarter-by-quarter thoughts.
1Q: Julius Randle is killing Tobias Harris (starting 4-of-4 from the field for 9 points). Tobias also missed a ten-foot jumper and wide open 3. Some nice two-man game between Embiid and Curry sets the latter up for a layup. Some excellent Danny Green defense on a switch against RJ Barrett. Some really nice movement out of Embiid post-ups. Tobias bites on an Alec Burks pump-fake — drink! Embiid stayed in the game all the way until the 1:36 mark, when an all-bench lineup took over.
