Woefully shorthanded Sixers show fight, but fall to Pelicans

Well, at least they did make it interesting at the end.

The Sixers dropped their third game in a row, falling 103-95 to the New Orleans Pelicans Friday night. Philadelphia trailed by as much as 35 but their comeback effort fell short.

Tobias Harris led the Sixers with 21 points, shooting 9-of-19 from the floor. Kelly Oubre Jr. went for 20. Zion Williamson led all scorers with 23 points while Brandon Ingram had 17.

Tyrese Maxey remained out due to a concussion, and Nico Batum was a late scratch as well with left foot soreness.

Here are some thoughts from the Center.
