Sixers 41, Jazz 24 at the end of the first after THT buries the desperation heave at the buzzer. Sixers shot 65 percent from the floor. Embiid had 13 points. Harden already with six assists. – 9:37 PM

Hard to play offense better than the Sixers have in the first nine minutes.
36 points total, 13 from Embiid and 6 assists for Harden. The style points have been there, too. – 9:30 PM

Ochai Agbaji has been in the rotation for six games and he’s already had to face DeMar DeRozan, Desmond Bane, Donovan Mitchell and James Harden.
That doesn’t even count guys like Franz Wagner or Jalen Green whose careers are just starting.
Every night is a gauntlet. – 9:26 PM

Shake Milton is the Sixers’ first sub tonight, replacing Maxey. It had been Melton-for-Maxey at this same point the past couple games. Allows Maxey to run the second unit at the end of the first/start of the second. – 9:24 PM

James Harden has tied Kevin Willis for 71st on the All-Time made shots list at 7,095. So far, the Sixers point guard is shooting 3-for-4. He’s needs four made shots to tie Jeff Malone for 70th. – 9:20 PM

Great sequence by the Sixers: Melton blocks then collects the ball, then pushes the other way and finds Maxey for the wide-open 3. Sixers are quickly out to a 17-7 lead against a shorthanded Jazz team. – 9:18 PM

Doc Rivers on Tobias Harris: “I don’t think it’s serious. I mean, it scared the hell out of me, I’ll tell you that. Because when he went down, I honestly didn’t think anything good because he was grabbing his knee in that spot. But it was just a knee on knee. So, he’ll be fine.” – 9:00 PM

Really good to finally see Fardaws Aimaq back on court. Couple weeks later than Mark Adams kept saying and also after he had a change of heart about transferring.
Bottom line is Utah Valley transfer should make a huge difference. Can score in post, good passer and rebounder. – 8:33 PM
