The Pelicans’ CJ McCollum torches Sixers with 11 threes and 42 points in 127-116 New Orleans win
NEW ORLEANS — Jose Alvarado snagged the offensive rebound with less than six minutes remaining, and the ball eventually swung to CJ McCollum for the open three-pointer from the right wing.The 76ers had no answer for the Pelicans’ sharpshooter, whose season-high 42 points on a career-best 11-of-16 from beyond the arc lifted his team to a 127-116 victory Friday night at the Smoothie King Center.
The night began with a herky-jerky first half, with both teams building double-digit leads. The Pelicans quickly closed a first-quarter deficit and took a 63-46 lead on a Jonas Valanciunas dunk with less than three minutes to play in the second quarter. But the Sixers closed the half with a 14-4 spurt, including three-pointers by James Harden, Georges Niang, and Tobias Harris.
Embiid went 5-of-8 from the floor in the third quarter, including three scores through contact, to notch another 15 points and keep his team within striking distance. He reached 30 points on a dunk about midway through the period. The Sixers’ P.J. Tucker essentially matched Williamson’s minutes. The veteran forward was eventually whistled for a technical in the fourth quarter for arguing a foul called against him while guarding Williamson, and Sixers assistant Dan Burke was T’d up from the bench shortly after another foul was called on Tucker.
He checked in at the 5:21 mark of the first quarter, handling the ball while Harden got a breather. He missed his first two shots — a corner three-pointer and then a pull-up triple at the top of the key. His first bucket came on a tough fadeaway early in the second quarter. Coach Doc Rivers said Thursday that Maxey likely would not play in both games of the back-to-back set, meaning he could sit Saturday in Oklahoma City.The Sixers dug another first-half deficit thanks to struggles in two areas they normally excel.
