What a win.
With Joel Embiid missing his third straight game Friday, the Sixers beat the Rockets in a thriller 131-127 in Houston.
Fred VanVleet scorched his former head coach early nailing three threes in the first quarter on his way to 17 first-half points. It wasn’t a great defensive quarter from the Sixers as they allowed 31 points thanks to poor communication and lapses.
