The Spurs late-game dramatics finally came to bite them as the Sixers outlasted a furious fourth-quarter comeback. Despite owning a 4 point cushion with less than a minute to go, San Antonio gave up a lead-changing triple to Shake Milton that would ultimately be their undoing in a 130-132 defeat.
DeMar DeRozan paced the Spurs with a game-high 30 points, 3 assists, a pair of blocks, followed closely by a vintage 24 point outing from Rudy Gay. Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 27 points, 9 boards, and 4 assists while Tobias Harris stuffed the stat sheet with 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.
