No Embiid, no problem. Without their superstar center, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and De’Anthony Melton led the Sixers to their 3rd straight victory, a 118-111 win over the Washington Wizards. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
It was obvious right away that Harden would not duplicate his 2-for-13 performance from theHe made his first attempt, a transition leaner, and the Sixers opened 6 for 7 from the floor as a team.
In under six minutes, he had nine points, five assists and three rebounds. Tucker joined him at nine points soon after, too. The 37-year-old began 5 for 5 from the floor and was happy to accept the short mid-range chances that came to him. At one point, the Wizards assigned Porzingis to Matisse Thybulle with clear instructions to send double teams at Harden. Every team will adopt its own defensive approach against Thybulle, but we imagine Washington’s will remain the norm this season barring a tremendous, sustained outside shooting stretch for the 25-year-old.
Harrell returned to the action in the second half and packed many of his best qualities into a flurry of activity at the end of the third quarter. The stint included an and-one, rolling layup, a fadeaway jumper out of the post, a big block, and all of his trademark energy.
