In Philadelphia they are missing Joel Embiid, and how. The Sixers fell last night before the push of the Los Angeles Clippers by 112 to 122, in a meeting that marked the performances of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
The Angelina duo shone in a key match against one of the coconuts of the Eastern Conference and ensured the triumph of Ty Lue’s, allowing the Clippers to go back up in the table after a somewhat irregular month of March.
En Philadelphia, Doc Rivers looked for a way to turn the game around in a thousand ways. However, the coach ended up taking a loss against his former team without being able to hit the key at any time.
The Clippers did not take off on the scoreboard but they did not show signs of weakness and victory was not in danger at any time for the Angelina franchise. The 24 points from George, who came within a rebound and an assist of triple-double, and Leonard’s 28, led the team to victory.
Besides, the amazing performance by Terance Mann from the bench it was another great news for Ty Lue. The escort ended with 23 points, making 10 of his 12 pitches of the night, doing those of Lou Williams, recently traded.
In the Sixers the top scorer was again Tobias Harris, who went up to 29 points, accompanied by 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Harris, far from being a winning factor for his people, missed his association with Embiid.
In addition to him, the Sixers entrusted their options to Ben Simmons, who had a poor, no-impact night as Shake Milton, who contributed what he could from the bench. No one seemed willing to take the step the 76ers needed last night.
This result allows the Clippers to continue climbing positions in the West and to position with a balance of 31-16. Philadelphia, on the other hand, falls a little further in the East and its 32-14 record he will have to hold out until Embiid’s return.
