Joel Embiid (42 points, 14 rebounds) and the Sixers entered the All-Star break on a high note with a 123-120 win Thursday night over the Bucks. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The Sixers’ first game after the break is a road matchup with the Timberwolves on Feb. 25. Here are observations on their win over the Bucks: Georges Niang replaced Danny Green in the starting lineup. In his first start since Dec. 3, Niang was given the generally impossible job of guarding Antetokounmpo.
Niang scored 18 points, made 5 of 10 three-point tries, and took a fourth-quarter charge on Antetokounmpo. Strong effort by Niang in a difficult spot, and a successful move by Sixers head coach Doc Rivers to start him. Thybulle declined an open three-pointer from the wing in the second quarter but got the ball back later in the possession. He pump faked, lost control on a drive, and created a transition opportunity that eventually ended in an Antetokounmpo basket. Furkan Korkmaz started the second half over Thybulle, who only played 14 minutes.
His offensive variety was characteristically astounding all night. Milwaukee hasn't been a great defensive unit of late, but Embiid's step-back, shot clock-beating threes and fadeaway jumpers weren't shots that any team would've stopped.Though Tobias Harris and Embiid combined for 22 first-quarter points, the Sixers only had 24 as a team and trailed by three through 12 minutes.
