What a nice win to celebrate the reunion of the 2001 team. How nice to have another nice and easy day watching the 76ers.
Philadelphia survived to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 123-114 Saturday night.
Joel Embiid, who was scorching in the first half again, led all scorers with 39 points along with 11 rebounds going 13-of-27 from the floor. Tyrese Maxey was quiet after the first, but put up 18 with eight assists on 7-of-18 shooting.
VJ Edgecombe had the assist of the night, having five of those while finishing with 15 points shooting 6-of-10 from the floor. Kelly Oubre Jr. had a good first night trying to replace Paul George, scoring 19 points shooting 7-of-13 from the floor with nine rebounds and four assists. Saddiq Bey led the Pelicans with 34.
Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.
