Joel Embiid was a late scratch for this game due to back tightness, so naturally, the Sixers shot 16-of-23 (69.6 percent) in the first quarter on their way to 42 points. However, that lead had evaporated by the five-minute mark of the second quarter, as Utah proved empirically that three is greater than two, knocking down 18 3s on the game to Philadelphia’s eight — a 30-point gap from behind the arc.
