The first quarter was filled with bad turnovers and missing Joel Embiid on both ends of the court, especially when the Philadelphia 76ers are going to put Mike Scott on Nikola Jokiu0107.
After getting ejected two games in a row in Los Angeles, Dwight Howard got the nod at the center starting spot. He began the night with double the oops — alley-oops, that is.
Extremely sloppy decisions developed over the course of the first quarter. The Sixers struggled to get a stop on the defensive end as they allowed Jamal Murray to heat up.
