Just a terrible, terrible loss on so many levels.
—piss poor defense
—horrible Embiid and Harden decisionmaking late
—8000 fouls
—Harden playing 38 minutes fresh off of a month-long injury?

A week ago, the Sixers won against the Hawks, and headed on the road for a three-game trip feeling great about themselves.
Now, after losing all three games, they head back home back at .500. Just about the only positive: James Harden is back, though he was dreadful tonight. – 11:10 PM

Sixers lose in two overtimes, 132-123. They are 13-13.
Houston has been good the last week and they deserve credit. Right team won. But that is a really rough Sixers performance for a bunch of reasons. Felt like the exact opposite of everything they did a week ago shorthanded. – 11:10 PM

Joel Embiid talked recently about the difficulties of doubling him at the elbow. He was doubled there by Houston in a huge spot, and turned the ball over. But a Kevin Porter Jr. missed free throw at the other end has allowed this game to get to double OT anyway. – 10:53 PM

The Sixers stopped fouling for just long enough to allow that first half to end, but trail the 6-17 Rockets 56-55 at the end of two. Houston is shooting 19-22 from the line and 7-17 from 3 so far.
Embiid has 15 for the Sixers, Harris with 12 (on 4-4 from 3) and Harden with 10/4 – 9:14 PM
