The Sixers were crushed by the Celtics in their final home game before the All-Star break, falling to a 135-87 loss at Wells Fargo Center. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The 32-year-old, who missed the Nets’ final three games before his trade to the Sixers with left hamstring tightness, said Tuesday his “hamstring feels really good.” The Sixers’ first game after the break is Feb. 25 against the Timberwolves and the team’s next home contest is March 2 against the Knicks.
Horford was physical on Embiid, trying to bump him and force catches as far away from the hoop as possible. He picked up his second foul with 8:45 left in the first, which led Boston head coach Ime Udoka to insert Daniel Theis and use Grant Williams against Embiid. The 6-foot-6 Williams received ample help whenever Embiid started a move in the post.
In a fitting finale to the first half, Embiid was whistled for traveling with 6.4 seconds left attempting a Harden-esque step-back jumper. Brown then hit yet another three. He was responsible for a few of the Sixers’ rare positive plays not involving their All-Star center, including an offensive rebound that led to a Shake Milton basket and a fast-break dunk off of a Milton assist.
