The Philadelphia 76ers are 10-7 on the season following their Friday night win over Utah. The story was Jimmy Butler, who tallied 28 points and seven assists in his home debut. Joel Embiid, despite foul trouble, managed 23 points of his own.
One underlying theme, however, was the continued evolution of Markelle Fultz‘s shooting mechanics. He’s no longer working with Drew Hanlen after a ‘colorful confrontation‘ between the shooting coach and someone in Markelle’s camp. That might relate to the sudden changes.
In Wednesday’s loss to Orlando, Fultz double-clutched in his second free attempt at the line.
