What was supposed to be nothing more than a tuneup for the Sixers’ upcoming five-game West Coast trip, now serves as a wake-up call. They suffered a 133-114 setback to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Thursday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder marked the 76ers’ 41st game of the season. Before the game, coach Doc Rivers was asked what he knows about the Sixers that he didn’t before the season.
The point guard had 37 points on 10-for-16 from the field and 16-for-16 from the free-throw line to go with eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and a steal. As a team, the Thunder shot 51.2% from the field, including 43.8% from beyond the three-point line.Gilgeous-Alexander had his way with Maxey in the beginning. Then he did the same to De’Anthony Melton and just about every defender the Sixers put on him. In the first game, Matisse Thybulle had a lot of success as the primary defender.
Joel Embiid had 30 points, 10 rebounds, and one block. Harden added 24 points, 15 assists, and six rebounds. Maxey , Tobias Harris , and Georges Niang were the Sixers’ other double-digit scorers.Gilgeous-Alexander began the game like someone determined to erase memories of last month’s poor outing. In that game, he was held 14 points on 4-for-15 shooting. He had 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting in the first quarter Thursday.
