The 76ers won six in a row, and the 53-point victory over the Hornets also set the third largest victory in 76ers history. "The Great" Embiid was like playing a game, taking a break in the fourth quarter, slashing 42 points, 15 rebounds, and two blocks in the first three quarters alone, shooting 18-of-23. Tyrese Maxey, who also sat on the bench in the fourth quarter and waited for the game to end, contributed 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting.
Embiid was unstoppable in the first quarter, scoring 18 points alone, more than the Hornets (17) as a team. The wasp is missing pj.Washington and Mark Williams, helpless against Embiid.
It was also a typical first quarter for Tobias Harris, who was very active in the first few minutes of the game before fading out of the game. Harris scored seven points in the first quarter, shooting 1-of-2 from three-point range.
The 76ers' defense was also good, with Melton completing two steals. And the Hornets' shooter got off to a cold start. The Hornets shot 29 percent from the field and missed all eight three-pointers in the first quarter. The 76ers led by 16 points after the first quarter.
Recently, the 76ers have called these top-five teams ruthless and cruel!And even when Maxi didn't play too well, they also beat their opponents to Xiang. However, Maxey was in significantly better shape than in the previous games, hitting a series of step-back three-pointers and hitting five 3-pointers in the second quarter to score 17 points.
Embiid's madness lies in the fact that his mid-range shooting isn't particularly great — he's scored 14 points this season9% came from mid-range shooting, his lowest since the 2018-19 season. But against the Hornets, in the first half he shot accurately, and he made 8 of the first 9 shots.
No one in the Hornets can score!They shot just 37 percent from the field at halftime, and the team didn't score more points in the first half than Maxey and Embiid (48 points), and the Hornets scored only 44 points and trailed by 29 points at halftime.
Of course, this is the second game of the Hornets' back-to-back games, and there are six players missing. However, they lost one more in this game, and Rozier accidentally greeted Embiid's big elbow with his face
Rozier left the field with a nose injury and bleeding, and he ended the bad night early.
When Embiid broke through 30 points in the third quarter, he had scored more than 30+ points in 11 consecutive games, setting a new record in 76ers history, after he scored 30+ points in 10 consecutive games last season.
Batum fits perfectly into the 76ers, and for six years, Embiid has been working with the guard, which makes Batum's inside pass feel like a godsend. After years of being caught and blocked, Embiid finally has a teammate who can pass the ball to him when he's just in position. The 76ers had a 41-point lead by the end of the third quarter, and the scene was already full of MVP calls!
Section 4?Don't fight!Embiid played 30 minutes in the third quarter and Maxey 33, but it couldn't stop the Hornets.
The Hornets ended up losing by 53 points, their biggest defeat since losing to the Bucks on Jan. 10, 2000.
