In James Harden and Joel Embiid’s return, the Sixers snapped a three-game losing streak Wednesday night with a 116-108 win over the Mavs at Wells Fargo Center. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap.
Next up for the 50-26 Sixers is a home matchup with the Raptors. Here are observations on their win Wednesday over Dallas:Harden started the game like someone who hadn’t played a game in over a week.
Though Harden was able to play the entire first quarter, he certainly wasn’t close to his top level. He began 0 for 5 from the floor and the Sixers’ half-court offense lacked pace, rhythm and decisiveness for the majority of the first half. His final stat line wasn't sparkling, but Harden certainly appeared to be reading the game significantly better and trusting himself more by the fourth quarter. The Sixers will hope he continues trending up the rest of the regular season.
They didn’t begin Wednesday night much better. Reggie Bullock got free for a wide-open layup on the Mavs’ first play, which was one of several defensive lowlights in the opening quarter. Among the others were Josh Green slamming in a dunk off of a baseline out-of-bounds play and Christian Wood storming down the heart of the court before an and-one finger roll. And to cap the quarter, Georges Niang gave up a four-point play to Josh Green. Replays showed Niang’s contact on Green came with 0.
