What a weird, bad night.
The Sixers failed to execute yet again vs. zone defense and Luka Doncic picked them apart on the other end in a 108-98 loss Friday night at American Airlines Center. The loss, their second straight, drops the Sixers to 31-21.
Shake Milton (lower back contusion) and Furkan Korkmaz (left knee soreness) remained out. Ben Simmons (personal reasons) continues to sit out, but could his saga end soon?
Dallas was without Kristaps Porzingis, Maxi Kleber and Tim Hardaway Jr.
Here are a few observations from Friday’s game.
First quarter
- Simmons traditionally tormented Luka Doncic.
