The San Antonio Spurs game in Philadelphia against the 76ers promised to be interesting for a number of reasons: Brett Brown’s return to Philadelphia, the first of a back-to-back, and . . .

Devin Vassell notched 20 points before the half going 4 of 5 from 3 like this nice shot which he saved, passed to Jakob Poeltl, and got it back for the 3:
Vassell also had a strong dunk over Joel Embiid and Danuel House Jr.
