Sixers down 17-2 at halftime in fast-break points. Besides Tobias Harris (4 for 4), team is 2 for 14 from 3-point range.
Will be interesting to see the defensive approach on Ja Morant in second half. Drop coverage mostly got the desired results (non-layup 2s) w/Thybulle on ball. – 9:12 PM

Ja Morant is splitting double teams and throwing alley oops. He also has 20 points, and it’s the first half. – 9:02 PM

Did the bygone possibility of making the Garden his full-time office enter his mind as he was shredding the Knicks with surgical precision? “Nah, it wasn’t a thought,” Morant responded. “Obviously, I felt like everybody’s dream as a basketball player is to play in the Garden. So I’ll take my one time a year.” -via New York Post / November 28, 2022
