🏀 The Sixers offense with the addition of James Harden looks incredible through two games. How incredible? NBCSPhilly takes a look at the numbers.
The trio of Harden, Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combined for 176 points in the two victories over the weekend. The last time three Sixers teammates combined for as many points in consecutive games was in February of 1986, when Charles Barkley, Julius Erving and Moses Malone scored 177.
If it seemed like Embiid was at the free throw line all day Sunday, it’s probably because he was. He took 27 free throws, knocking down 23 of them. He’s the fifth player in the last decade to make that many free throws in a game, and just the second center in the last 50 years! Dwight Howard made 25 free throws in a game in 2013 .
Sticking with Embiid, he is keeping an amazing streak alive, even with Harden’s involvement in the new-look Sixers attack. JoJo has averaged better than a point per minute played over his last 30 games.• Giannis Antetokounmpo – 43 gamesThe Sixers as a team made 30 or more FT in back-to-back games. That doesn’t sound like a ton, until you compare it with the rest of the league. Only four NBA teams — the Nets, Bucks, Pelicans, and Mavericks — have done it twice this whole season.
Is the insane production sustainable? Not likely. The Timberwolves and Knicks aren’t exactly known for their stalwart defense; surely tougher matchups await. But through two games, this team looks like it will be very difficult to slow down.
