Tobias Harris on his game-winner: “For me personally, it’s a big shot. And I think it’s just a combination of just patience with everything and opportunity and looks that I get on the floor, and just (being) able to be settled in what things are now.” – 10:31 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
James Harden finishing with 26 points on 19 shots with 6 dimes and 3 turnovers is a testament to how he can play poorly (for him) and still be solid vs. a solid D.
But hes had a lot of games now this year where you wonder what % of pre-2021 hamstring stuff he’s playing at. – 9:40 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Jamahl Mosley’s pregame warning to the Orlando Magic?
Defend without fouling, especially against Joel Embiid and James Harden.
Orlando was successful in that area, at least for one half, but Embiid and Harden were eventually too much to handle:

Matisse Thybulle single handedly blows up Cole Anthony twice in the OT on possible go-ahead plays in the final minute. Phenomenal defender. Even better IQ #MagicSixers – 8:59 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
That’s a game the Sixers have to learn from. Their offense has to be elite to win and it took a big step back the last few games. But they did escape with a 116-114 win over a Magic team that has been feisty.
Tobias Harris did the bailing out: 26 and 9 on 10-18 shooting. – 8:56 PM

Sixers survive against the Magic in OT, but it cost them 40+ minutes from their 4 most important starters.

Getting the win is nice for Philly, but getting Tobias Harris going was way more important.

Philly’s offense, other than 2 Doc Rivers set pieces to set up Harris, has been extremely stagnant with Harden isos. Maxey hasn’t touched the ball in the last 4 minutes–was hanging out in the dunker spot of all places on the last possession. – 8:28 PM

James Harden doesn’t have the sleeve over his left hamstring he’s been wearing lately today in Orlando. Maybe that’s feeling better. He does have a little sleeve over the right calf, which cameras picked up him getting treated vs. Nets Thursday. – 7:49 PM

as long as the Sixers don’t have to figure out the Orlando Magic’s offense and defense for the first round of the playoffs they should be OK. Also get the sense if Philly doesn’t play well, officials will giddily ignore Harden getting poked in the eye on 3s. – 7:10 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
This is kind of the downside to Harden’s style. As good as he is as both a passer and scorer, when he’s off, he’s very off and bleeds into transition D because of the long rebounds you get from his shots. When he’s bad, he’s really bad; and when he’s great, he’s sensational. – 7:10 PM

Magic 29, Sixers 24 at the end of the first. Another slow start for the Sixers, which has been a troubling trend during the Harden era. – 6:38 PM

Sixers in first quarters over last month ranked 30th in defensive rating, 29th in net rating. Didn’t turn things around tonight.

The @Orlando Magic have now made at least one three-point field goal in 1,198 consecutive games, dating all the way back to March 17, 2007.
It stands as the fifth-longest active streak in the #NBA and also the fifth-longest streak in @NBAHistory.

Isaiah Joe is about to get first-quarter minutes. A reminder that the is the front end of a back-to-back. But him over Furk is interesting. – 6:25 PM

Tyrese Maxey has 4 points thus far. He had 4 points the entire game against the Nets on Thursday. He’s been much more aggressive as well. #Sixers – 6:24 PM
Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
Markelle Fultz earned some applause, and boos from 76ers fans, upon checking into the game. – 6:24 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Markelle’s checked in for Cole midway through the 1Q.
If my memory’s correct, this will be his first time playing alongside Jalen Suggs. – 6:24 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Lots of Sixers fans in the building tonight, and they just booed Markelle Fultz when he checks in for the first time. – 6:23 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Orlando might low-key have the best media seats in the league because of the vantage point of the basket and the visitors’ bench. Embiid just told the official “He hit my hand! I promise you.” after he could not finish down low. – 6:22 PM

Tobias Harris with 2 buckets here early and it’s because he didn’t hesitate. It’s crazy how much different he looks when he doesn’t think and just shoots the ball. #Sixers – 6:13 PM

If you’re going to demand accountability, you also have to give it. Chris Finch did both in the wake of an ugly loss in Orlando, and the Wolves responded with a big win in Miami. theathletic.com/3179540/2022/0… – 5:35 PM

“My veins don’t pump no Kool-Aid,” Kevin Garnett told me deep into his rookie season. He morphed from pure Magic Johnson joy on the court to his own signature brand of ferocity, earning the Hall of Fame and Sunday a jersey retirement. A video archive: nba.com/stories/archiv… – 5:29 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro since the All Star break:
25 PPG on 51% shooting
Among the players averaging 25 or more over that span, only 2 players are doing it on less attempts

Doc Rivers told a story he had forgotten Chauncey Billups was with him in Orlando because the Magic had so many players that season in 2000.
“I was talking to Chauncey this summer and said: ‘You coached me.’ I said, ‘I never coached you.’ … There were that many people.” – 4:58 PM

Just walked by Charlie Brown Jr., who is back with the Sixers for some wing depth with Danny Green out with that finger injury. – 4:04 PM

Kevin Durant raised his scoring average from 29.00 to 29.59 PPG.
Updated scoring title race
LeBron: 29.71
Giannis: 29.68
Embiid: 29.68
Durant: 29.59
Minimum games required is 58. The most KD can play is 55.
However, if his total points divided by 58 is most, he can still win. – 4:00 PM

Zeke Nnaji and Aaron Gordon are questionable. – 3:42 PM

Final: Nets beat the Knicks 110-107 behind Kevin Durant’s 53 points. Brooklyn has now won three straight with a good chance to make it four against rebuilding Orlando on Tuesday. Kyrie Irving sat courtside in one of the weirder things you’ll see at a sporting event. – 3:37 PM

Tonight in Orlando is the Sixers’ first on-court opportunity to move past the disastrous Brooklyn game. Consider Joel Embiid someone who is glad that circus is over:
“Even before the game, I was already tired of all that drama and all that stuff.” inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-… – 3:13 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Nic Claxton is quietly having a great stretch of games: He was impressive in Philly against the 76ers and now has 10 points and 5 rebounds off the bench against the Knicks. – 3:02 PM

📅 On this day in 2005, the @Toronto Raptors Donyell Marshall set franchise records for 3P made (12) and attempted (19) in a 128-110 win over the 76ers.
Marshall tied Kobe Bryant’s NBA record for most 3P made in a game, a record which is now held by Klay Thompson (14). pic.twitter.com/Rdfqd40REj – 3:01 PM

📅 On this day in 1986, the @Los Angeles Lakers Magic Johnson had 27 points and 13 assists in a 105-92 win over the Sonics.
Johnson recorded his 5,000th career assist, becoming both the fastest (472 games) and youngest (26 years, 211 days) player in NBA history to reach that mark. pic.twitter.com/uEzI4Ljvpg – 2:01 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
Awesome sequence for Nic Claxton. Picks up Barrett on the perimeter and forces a miss. Hits a tough jump hook over Robinson. Then comes up with a steal on the next possession. He did a good job earlier in the year checking Trae, and Luka. Solid effort on Embiid last game. – 1:52 PM
Justin Kubatko @jkubatko
📅 On this day in 2018, the @Oklahoma City Thunder‘s Russell Westbrook had 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists in a 119-107 win over the Hawks.
Westbrook became the fourth player in NBA history to reach 100 career triple-doubles, joining Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Jason Kidd. pic.twitter.com/ra65eqlXvJ – 1:01 PM

Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Greetings from Barclays. Nets-Knicks tip shortly. Currently trying to find Kyrie as if he’s Waldo. This will mark his first Nets game of the season…as a fan. On the court, BK is going for its third straight win. With Magic & Blazers this week, the runway is there for some wins. – 12:59 PM
