Daily News | Sixers vs. Celtics Game 5 takeaways: Sixers crumbling, lacking trust, Joel Embiid standing by
Their trust in one another came into question.
But the Sixers really struggled in the fourth quarter, making just 5 of 20 shots. They were 0-for-8 on threes.“I think it was three things: we missed open shots,” Embiid said. “We didn’t make them. We stopped moving the ball. And I don’t think I touched the ball in the last four minutes of the game. Like I said, we missed a lot of good looks and I didn’t touch the ball at all.”Following their Game 5 victory, the Sixers were talking about how they developed trust in each other.
“I just didn’t think we had a game with great trust tonight,” Rivers said. “I thought our guys all wanted to win. They play that way, and sometimes I think that gets in your way. And I thought that happened tonight.”“There was some trust. We just didn’t make shots,” said the point guard, who finished with 13 points on 4-for-16 shooting along with nine assists, seven rebounds , three steals, one block and five turnovers.
