As the Sixers await the arrival of James Harden, they took down the Oklahoma City Thunder, 100-87, at the Wells Fargo Center on Friday night.
The Sixers had an ugly night on offense but did enough to fight off a late comeback by the Thunder.
Joel Embiid extended his 25-plus point streak to 22 games, putting up 25 points and 19 rebounds, but shot just 8-of-25 from the field. Tyrese Maxey looked excellent, going for 24 points on 74.07 TS%.
Here are some observations from the Sixers’ win over the Thunder.
