The Sixers responded to doubt following losses to the Celtics and Heat with a 4-1 road trip, capped by dismantling th Timberwolves without James Harden.
When Joel Embiid is as good as he was on Tuesday, he’s the best player in the league. No debate:

Anthony Edwards brought up in his postgame that he had zero assists tonight (actually had 1), and then said:
“I gotta be able to get off the ball. I didn’t have any assists, I wasn’t in much of a passing mindset. I gotta come out passing the ball and get my teammates involved.” – 10:45 PM

While struggling against Utah, 7th-place Dallas is getting help on the NBA scoreboard. 6th-place Minnesota has lost and 5th-place Golden State just lost to OKC, so if the Mavs pull this out they’ll be in a fifth-place tie.

Rudy Gobert said he was maybe too aggressive at times on offense in the 1st half.
“A lot of times I was overly aggressive and kind of put my head down and we have shooters open in the corners and I think just making those extra passes would have been huge for us.” – 10:30 PM

Some good process for the Sixers on both ends with iffy results — Maxey is getting quality looks from three, and they’ve already run a couple of plays exploiting Gobert not wanting/being able to close on him quickly. – 7:51 PM

In the wake of Anthony Edwards having his technical rescinded from Friday, I asked Finch if Ant has done anything to lessen the amount of technicals he has received.

Chris Finch reiterated Karl-Anthony Towns is still in the “final stages” of returning. Has started doing some basketball activities, Finch said. But no timeline. The quote:

With Hamidou Diallo missing 3-4 weeks, there’s a chance he’s played his final game in Detroit since he’ll be an unrestricted FA. Averaged 11.8 points, four rebounds and 1.3 steals on 61.8% shooting (19.9 min) since Dec. 20.
Pistons got him for Svi Mykhailiuk and a 2027 2nd. – 5:53 PM

It just feels like the discourse is spending so much time arguing about semantics and arguing things off the court that we aren’t actually appreciating that Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, Tatum, Mitchell, Luka, Shai, Dame and countless others are just at another level. – 5:01 PM

The key for me, I believe, is how those five kept ball out the paint.
Domantas Sabonis has the passing and interior paint presence to dominate. Rudy Gobert is *too* big to keep off glass.
Jaren Jackson Jr. is more of a big wing offensively, and he and X Tillman can be moved. – 2:19 PM
