I think this is good offense from the Jazz, they’re just missing the open 3-point shots. – 8:29 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
It’s felt like there’s been a few opportunities for Quin Snyder to call a timeout and he hasn’t.
I almost wonder if he’s fine letting the game run long to not give Embiid extra rest. – 8:29 PM The Vertical @YahooSportsNBA
Stephen Curry is 10 3-pointers away from setting the NBA’s all-time record and passing Ray Allen.
Does he break it in the next game against the 76ers?

Gobert and Embiid are two of the best pick and roll bigs in the NBA. Both play drop the majority of their coverage, which means they play even with the rolling big and are able to defend ball and big. (1/2) – 8:20 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Jazz offensive rating at end of the 1st half is 131. – 8:11 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Halftime: Jazz 61, 76ers 54. As lethargic as Utah was in the 1Q, they surged ahead in the 2Q thanks to hustle and energy. The ball is moving, they’re controlling the boards, they’re getting to the 50-50 balls. 34-22 advantage in 2nd. Don leads all scorers with 17p. Embiid has 13. – 8:11 PM Serena Winters @SerenaWinters
Apparent Maxey is just fine!!! Damn that was a heck of a finish from the young fella – 8:10 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Utah’s winning 61-54 at halftime, and is for one predictable reason: an edge in 3-point shooting. The Jazz are 9-for-20 from 3 in this game; the 76ers are 3-for-18. Utah takes and makes more 3s than any team in the league on a per game basis. – 8:10 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Halftime in Philly. The Jazz lead the Sixers 61-54…..Mitchell with 17 and 3 assists…doing most of his damage from deep. Embiid with 13 and 4 – 8:10 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
🚨 Mike block! 🚨

Things @Philadelphia 76ers fans love:
1. Tyrese Maxey – 8:09 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz run coincided with Embiid getting really tired – 8:07 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Stellar defensive possession from the Jazz. Royce’s iso D, Donovan Mitchell’s close out, Conley’s block, Bogdanovic’s denial on the inbound, and then the challenge on Embiid on the three.
Full team effort. – 8:07 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Mike Conley blocking Danny Green… what a play – 8:06 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
4 triples for 45 🕷

Tyrese Maxey gets a loud ovation from the crowd as he gets set to come back in after that hard fall #Sixers – 8:03 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Tyrese Maxey’s about to check back in, so apparently he’s not concussed – 8:03 PM Justin Grasso @JGrasso_
Tyrese Maxey getting ready to check back in after going to the locker room #Sixers – 8:02 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Tyrese Maxey gets a big ovation as he comes back to the scorer’s table to return to the game after getting checked out following that scary fall earlier. – 8:02 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Joel Embiid is an underrated screener. He’s like, really good at it. Guys are coming off him free as a bird and it’s giving the Jazz issues – 8:00 PM Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Something that is incredibly clear right now:
@Tyrese Maxey‘s teammates – and the fans in this building – absolutely care for and adore him.
Maxey headed to the locker room now to get checked out. – 7:58 PM Serena Winters @SerenaWinters
Man Tyrese Maxey hit his head hard on that fall.
He’s headed back to the lockerroom now. Good to see him smiling though. – 7:57 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Good to see Tyrese Maxey get up and walk off under his own power after a scary fall saw him land hard on the court and smack his head after trying to make a driving layup over Hassan Whiteside. Maxey stayed down for a minute before eventually getting up and walking off. – 7:57 PM Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Maxey got hurt on his basket. He landed hard, stayed down for a while and headed back to the locker room. – 7:57 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Oh man, Maxey’s head hit the floor really hard there. Good to see him making Embiid laugh and walking off, though. – 7:57 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Oh no, Maxey hit his head hard on this fall… he’s smiling now but he really needs to go through concussion protocol. – 7:56 PM Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Tyrese Maxey went down hard on that last layup. Got hit mid-air and looks like his head hit the floor on the whiplash. Was down for a few minutes, but is back up on his feet now. Milton is coming into the game for Maxey. – 7:56 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Tyrese Maxey took a hard bump from Hassan on that layup, then stayed down on the ensuing possession. He’s up now and walking off the court. – 7:56 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Maxey has now risen to his feet with the help of Joel Embiid and he’s walking back to the bench on his own power #Sixers – 7:56 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
year 16, catching lobs 🔥
#TakeNote | @Rudy Gay pic.twitter.com/wf10lrDTLk – 7:56 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Maxey is down. He threw himself into Whiteside on the finish and fell hard. Sixers had to call time and are now attending to him. He’s now getting up – 7:55 PM Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
oh man, Tyrese Maxey looks really dazed on the baseline after that layup. Hope he’s alright. – 7:55 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Tyrese Maxey is still on the ground after that fall. It was definitely a tough one. Doc Rivers is irate that Maxey didn’t get a call on that one. #Sixers – 7:55 PM Philadelphia 76ers @sixers

The Jazz turn the non Embiid minutes into a 44-40 lead….big man back on the other side of the timeout, Gobert will be on the bench – 7:52 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
First off, nice job poking the ball away there and turning it into a transition opportunity. Then a perfect pass from Jingles to a medium-high-flying Rudy Gay. Jazz have a 44-40 lead. – 7:52 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Damn. I didn’t know rudy gay still had that part of his game left – 7:51 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Former Jazz forward Georges Niang gets a flagrant one for trying to prevent an alley-oop dunk by Rudy Gobert, and the two of them had a chat after the decision was made. Gobert, however, misses both free throws, as Utah continues to lead by 1. – 7:50 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Georges Niang picks up a flagrant 1 for his foul on Rudy Gobert. Gobert wasn’t too pleased with his old buddy. – 7:49 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Joe ingles has five assists thus far – 7:49 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Flagrant 1 on Niang. Two shots for Gobert and possession for the Jazz – 7:49 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Dang, Rudy Gobert looked legitimately mad at Georges Niang… and I think a flagrant 1 is probably the right call here. – 7:48 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
respect the @Joe Ingles game
#TakeNote pic.twitter.com/5mgnH1atYZ – 7:46 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Will be interesting to see how Rudy Gay looks as he continues to get integrated into Utah’s system. He’s got the potential to give the Jazz the kind of smallball center option that they haven’t had in recent years, which could prove to be a big benefit in the playoffs. – 7:45 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Joe Ingles talked about it on his podcast with JJ Redick, but it really is wild how he just gets these easy-as-pie paths to the rim because teams are terrified of the Gobert lob – 7:43 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
pick your poison 🧪

The @Philadelphia 76ers lead, 32-27, after Q1.
Embiid: 11 PTS / 3 REB
Harris: 7 PTS / 3 REB
Curry: 5 PTS / 3 AST
Thybulle: 7 PTS / 1 STL – 7:38 PM Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
after 12!
🪙@Cryptocom pic.twitter.com/D72CUt84o2 – 7:38 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Sixers up 32-27. Pretty simple: when the Jazz’s centers haven’t been trying to win one-on-one postup ball like its 1994, the Jazz have been just fine – 7:36 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 1Q: Sixers 32, Jazz 27. Pretty sloppy opening 12 minutes for Utah: Too many turnovers, not enough transition defense, several outright selfish possessions. – 7:36 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz trail the Sixers 32-27 at the end of the first quarter. Not a great close at all. The Jazz have been a step slow for much of this one so far – 7:36 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Look at Matisse Thybulle scoring 7 points in the early going in this one. He’s running on the break, he’s putting the ball on the floor, and he’s also hit a triple. Philly up 32-27 after 1 over the Jazz at home. #Sixers – 7:35 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
a regular dunking thing
#TakeNote | @Donovan Mitchell pic.twitter.com/DzH0zAq7be – 7:35 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Interesting seeing the Jazz centers decide tonight is the night to start working on their back to the basket game. – 7:35 PM Serena Winters @SerenaWinters
This has been a heck of a fun first quarter of basketball. #Sixers #Jazz
(Btw – Still picking my jaw up from the ground after a 7-footer ran the entire damn floor past every Jazz player & threw it down for the one-handed slam). – 7:33 PM Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
it’s a bird. it’s a plane. no, it’s @Matisse Thybulle! 🛫 pic.twitter.com/CndGavx9sh – 7:33 PM Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
#Sixers off to a good start, shooting 63.2% and leading 27-24 with 1:34 left in the quarter. Embiid with 11 points on 5-7 shooting. Harris has 7 points on 3-5 shooting. – 7:32 PM Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
The @Philadelphia 76ers come out strong on night 2 of their back-to-back, and lead the Jazz, 27-24, after 10 mins of play.
Team: 12-19 FG (61.1%)
Embiid: 11 PTS / 3 REB / 5-7 fg
Harris: 7 PTS / 3 REB / 1 BLK
Curry: 5 PTS / 3 AST – 7:32 PM Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Embiid seeing Gobert and Whiteside on the same team pic.twitter.com/rzL9Na1pUg – 7:31 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
3 turnovers for the Jazz, 7p off of them for Philly. So, yeah, transition defense remains a thing. Philly up 27-24 with 1:35 left 1Q. – 7:30 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Jazz down 27-24 with 1:35 remaining in the first quarter. Wasting too many possessions offensively – 7:30 PM Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
Joel Hans Embiid working all 94 ft. 👀 pic.twitter.com/cwNJsWS2hM – 7:29 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz got a good minute out of Hassan but the last 3 minutes have been brutal – 7:29 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Just a ridiculous coast-to-coast move by Joel Embiid, ending with a massive dunk. Embiid already has nine points in this game in eight first quarter minutes. – 7:27 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
good to have you back, @Hassan Whiteside pic.twitter.com/OfE5iFiCKf – 7:26 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Embiid came down hard on Mitchell there – 7:26 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Sheesh! A 7-foot man should not be able to do what Joel Embiid just did #Sixers – 7:26 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Thybulle and Mitchell is a hell of a matchup – 7:26 PM Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
tobi knew what he wanted and got it!👊 pic.twitter.com/nwrFibSZoB – 7:24 PM Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Are my boomers followers still here or did y’all bounce? (I understand if you did)
bc Matisse Thybulle and Joe Ingles are about to play each other for the first time since the Olympics
and I just wanted to know who else is excited about that – 7:23 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin

Lots of shots going thru the hoop early — Sixers 8-11, Jazz 6-9. Embiid 7p for Philly, as Rudy’s mostly been content to let him shoot long jumpers, and he’s mostly hit. Don leads the Jazz with 6p. Sixers up 19-17 with 6:26 left 1Q. – 7:21 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
That’s a fun few minutes of basketball. Jazz are so tough to guard. – 7:21 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell

An offensive showing so far, with the Sixers holding a 19-17 lead over the just with 6:26 still left in the first quarter. Embiid (7) and Curry (5) combined to score the first 12 points for the Sixers, with Harris and Maxey picking it up after that. – 7:20 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Mitchell looks to have hurt his hand on an Embiid screen… Jazz having troubles getting around his screens early. – 7:20 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
6:26 remaining in the first quarter. The Jazz trail the Sixers 19-17….Philly shooting 73 percent so far from the field…..embiid with seven points early – 7:20 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Joel Embiid has 7 of Philly’s 10 points to start. It really looks like he wants Rudy Gobert. He wants to make life miserable for him. #Sixers – 7:17 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Quin Snyder said that regardless of how productive the Jazz offense is right now, the focus for optimizing the attack remains the same: good spacing, making quick decisions, and limiting turnovers to lessen the need for transition defense. – 5:47 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Quin Snyder, on the Wolves’ criticism of Rudy Gobert: “Everybody’s entitled to their views and opinions. From my standpoint, every team’s game plan is based on how to attack Rudy. Or how not to attack Rudy. … Sometimes we’re having to find ways to get him involved defensively.” – 5:42 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Asked about the Jazz, Doc said he’s starting to see them play like they did last season. Praised Donovan Mitchell for putting so much stress on defenses, noted Rudy Gobert is getting increasingly aggressive offensively, said he continues to see improvement from Jordan Clarkson. – 5:24 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Doc Rivers says that he’s happy with where the 76ers are at. He said the best news he received today was when he walked in and was told no one was on the injury report — said now they hope/goal is for that to stay the same so his team can build some continuity. – 5:23 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

The Utah Jazz are legit and they’re not even knocking down their threes like they were last season (they might be better).
All but one of their 17 wins this season have been by six or more.
Since the beginning of Nov (9-2) six of their nine wins have been by at least 16 points – 4:15 PM Josh Martin @LonzoWire

Some Rudy Gobert notes in case some people forgot
Rudy Gobert contests 19 shots a game (most in the NBA) Over last 10 games contesting 20 a game.
Gobert is on the floor for 59 opponent shots a night. He contests 34% of all opponents shots.

Outside of Grant Riller (shoulder), the Sixers have a clean injury report, which is a pretty rare occurrence. Only entries other than Riller are the guys in the G League (Aaron Henry, Paul Reed, Jaden Springer) and Ben Simmons (you know). – 1:10 PM David Locke @DLocke09
Mike Conley not on the Utah Jazz injury report on a back end of back to back – 1:08 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
No Mike Conley on the Utah Jazz injury report. He’s good to go for tonight

Mike Conley, notably, is not on the injury report. He played just 24 minutes last night. Appears he’ll play in both ends of the back to back. – 1:05 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Mike Conley is not on the Jazz’s injury report for today so seems likely he’ll be playing against the Sixers – 1:04 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Hassan Whiteside still has some pain in his behind. He remains questionable with a bruised glute. – 1:04 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Hassan Whiteside is listed as questionable vs. Philadelphia tonight. Mike Conley, interestingly enough, is not on the injury report for the back-to-back. – 1:03 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
