The very serious Sixers of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey were traveling to Brooklyn this evening, to challenge the cousi-cousa, inconstant, half-baked Nets, and we’re stopping because it’s boring. A bit like when Joel Embiid mashes with the defense of the Big Apple franchise. But puree in which we would have put too much water.
Here are the statistics!
This is something quite clear before the meeting even begins: Joel Embiid is going to eat the Nets, it just remains to be seen with what sauce. He decided to make a complete menu, chaining shots under the basket, moving back to the high post. A little mixtape and already 22 points at the break, facing a very skinny Nic Claxton when it comes to defending, or at least trying to defend. Such a gap in the paint gives the Sixers a ten-unit lead very early in the match.
The fact remains that these Nets do not want to lose. Mikal Bridges is hot, Loonie Walker IV takes the family photo by sticking three Philadelphia players on his poster. An insolent success, serious sequences in defense, and a restarted match..? No, don’t mess around. Brooklyn will lead by one point. A very anecdotal fact of play as the response of the Sixers is severe. 15-0 in a few minutes, it takes a big ten lead. Tyrese Maxey hits a big long shot at the buzzer at halftime, as a symbol of the first half of the game for Nick Nurse’s guys: defense? Check. Attack ? Check, easier when you have an MVP on the team and he wants to throw some dirt.

Everything predestined this match to become a garbage time of 24 minutes. We won’t go that far, but really, really not far anyway. Only slight concern? Joel Embiid who hurts his knee following a bad contact. Images of fear, but ultimately no harm. And that’s what we’ll remember. 32 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists for the Cameroonian, narrowly missed a triple-double. The match begins its last quarter with almost 25 points difference, the public is frozen and the New York winter is not even here yet. Among the Nets, five players scored more than ten points but it’s simply too hard to compete with Philly. Note the very clean match of De’Anthony Melton, 21 points at 8/10 shooting including 4/6 at 3-points. Final score 121-99, clean and without burrs. Brooklyn goes negative (6-7), Philly continues with a tenth success this season!
