Sixers vs. Pacers: Game Recap

In likely their most impressive victory of the season, the Sixers beat the Indiana Pacers on the road tonight, 120-96.

The biggest storyline in this game was the health of Joel Embiid, who was questionable until gametime with back stiffness. Embiid was visibly uncomfortable for much of the first half, moving gingerly and wincing in between plays. In the first half, Embiid was also much more inclined to fire from long range than bang down low, shooting 6 threes (one heave) in the first 24.

The second half seemed to be a different story for the big man.
