Well, this was an ugly game! The Sixers were simply outworked by the Cavaliers tonight to the tune of a 118-94 loss in the second half of a back-to-back. Here are some thoughts from each quarter.
1Q: Joel Embiid is out, so the Sixers found themselves looking for answers on who the offense would run through early on. Ben Simmons stepped up and took control; he was still pass first, but he was actively looking to get his shots up more than in the first two games. Tobias Harris was also a much quicker decision maker, instead of overthinking everything under the sun, he would catch and shoot.
