What to Know
The Sixers moved to 3-0 after shooting 19 for 44 from three-point range (43%), a marked improvement after they hit just 26.5% of their looks from deep in the first two games.
Joel Embiid (28 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists) led the Sixers in scoring and registered a triple-double. He also converted 12 of 14 attempts at the free throw line.
VJ Edgecombe made a pair of clutch plays in the final minutes, first grabbing an offensive rebound that led to a Jaylen Brown three-pointer before nabbing a steal that led to a Kentavious Caldwell-Pope triple.
Jabari Walker left the game in the third quarter and did not check back in. Nick Nurse said postgame that he tweaked his left knee.
Next up: The Sixers host the Pistons Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBCSP.
