Random stat: Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Kawhi Leonard has shot at least 50% from the field in 11 of the 15 games he’s played against the Sixers, including playoffs.
Has to be the highest FG% against the Sixers by a perimeter player over that span. Never misses. – 9:35 AM

Doc said he and Ty Lue still talk all the time.
“I don’t know if we talk,” he said, “or we commiserate.” How to build a contender with little continuity, the challenge of the Kawhi and PG partnership’s first season, is still the question in 2023:
latimes.com/sports/clipper… – 2:06 AM

@MarkG_Medina
Sixers coach Doc Rivers on Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic: “They’re two big guys. It’s amazing. Maybe the center is coming back. Who knows. Those two guys are special. – 2:03 AM

@MarkG_Medina
Sixers’ Joel Embiid on if game has become easier: “Not to sound cocky, but I think things have always been pretty easy. But every single night there is a different challenge. You got to have a mindset to be able to process it very fast to where you can adjust to anything.” – 1:54 AM

@MarkG_Medina
Sixers’ Joel Embiid on his recent strong play: “It wouldn’t be happening without my teammates. James [Harden] has been doing a great job for making it easy for me and just playing off of me. Guys are knocking down shots. That opens up a lot for me to go out and dominate.” – 1:48 AM

@rich_hofmann
Tyrese Maxey on his late 3s: “I think now in this different role, I see how the game is going so I can see the flow of the game. And as soon as they started coming back on their little run, I was telling the bench mob, ‘It’s going to be a big stint from us in the third quarter.’” – 1:43 AM

Sixers beat the Clippers, 120-110. They are 28-16 and now 3-0 on the West Coast trip. They are also third in the East, a half-game behind Milwaukee.

Ty Lue empties his bench with 3:16 left and Clippers down 115-98. Too much Embiid and Maxey. Clippers’ offense continues to sputter, too many turnovers, hurt on the glass and defensive issues. Clippers will lose for 8th time in 10 games. – 12:23 AM

@AndrewGreif
Ty Lue puts in his reserves for the final 3 minutes. Clippers are going to lose this game to fall to 23-23 with a game tomorrow night in Salt Lake City. They’ll play in L.A. two times from now until Feb. 8. Can the Clippers find themselves on the road? – 12:22 AM

That’s the difference in the game. Clippers shot 70% FGs and won possession battle in 3rd quarter though – 11:55 PM

These teams usually play fun, well-played games for some reason. Has been very entertaining so far, hope we get that in the fourth. – 11:52 PM


@NBAKrell
Should stick with Embiid for the rest of the quarter and then open the fourth with Harden and Montrezl. – 11:47 PM

Those 3s by Niang, both tough shots, could loom large. Kept the Sixers in the game when they were leaking oil.

Game tied at 81. Georges Niang with great footwork to tie game on a side step corner 3.

Clippers playing much faster. Both Kawhi and PG. Rebound? Run. PJ Tucker 3? Turn his kicks collection into skates.
Clippers also doing some matchup zone and crowding Embiid. Quite sure Doc is working on what to do about that. – 11:29 PM

Kawhi’s cooking so much right now that any possession in which he misses is basically a must that the Sixers come down and score on their end and not waste an empty LA possession. – 11:28 PM

Fastbreak margin matches the overall scoring margin: 76ers 18, Clippers 7.
Clippers shot better after first timeout of 2nd quarter, but it’s going to be a blowout if they can’t get stops (adjustment: make Embiid pass) or protect ball (10:10 assist-TO ratio — not changing much) – 11:08 PM



@LawMurrayTheNU
Joel Embiid caps a 26-point first half with a buzzer beating 3. Halfway to 52.
76ers lead LA 63-52 at halftime. Tobias Harris also added 14 points on 6/9 FGs. Kawhi Leonard only Clipper in double figures with 13.
76ers shooting 59% FGs. – 11:05 PM


@rich_hofmann
26 points for Joel Embiid, who beats the first-half buzzer for the second time in three games. Sixers lead the Clippers at the break, 63-52.
Sixers played a great half. Box score says the Clippers have 10 turnovers but it feels like 100. And they’re being punished for them. – 11:05 PM

@ginamizell
Halftime: Sixers 63, Clippers 52. Embiid with another monster half, with 26 points and 5 rebounds. Harris (14-3-3) was also excellent. Sixers are shooting 59 percent from the floor, have 15 points off 10 Clippers turnovers and have 18 fastbreak points. – 11:04 PM

@KyleNeubeck
26 first-half points against the Clippers for Embiid, and he left 2-4 easy ones on the table. – 11:04 PM

@NBAKrell
That’ll be a 26-point first half for Embiid.
Harden somehow only has 5 assists despite the Sixers having 18 fastbreak points and Tobias having 14 points. – 11:04 PM

Embiid with 26 points at the half after his three at the buzzer. The #Sixers lead 63-52. – 11:04 PM

Embiid working the Clippers, going for 26 in the first half, including a buzzer-beating 3 at the end of the half. Sixers lead 63-52 at the break. – 11:04 PM

There’s probably been a blow-by pr two in there (I don’t remember for sure), but really nice half of defense from Tobias Harris tonight. Getting hands on the ball as a helper and creating live-ball TOs. – 10:56 PM

@KyleNeubeck
Killer Tobias Harris half on both ends. Already up to 5 steals (!?) – 10:56 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
The strength of the 76ers defense is forcing turnovers. The weakness of Clippers all season has been turnovers.
Paul George and Kawhi Leonard have 5 of LA’s 7 turnovers, and 76ers are running every time.
76ers lead back up to 53-41 with 4:22 left in first half. – 10:55 PM

@ginamizell
Ho-hum, another 20-point first half for Embiid on 7-of-11 shooting and 5-of-6 from the FT line. – 10:55 PM

@LaurenMRosen
Tobias Harris (@Tobias Harris) has been excellent in the first half thus far (19 mins):
12 PTS / 3 REB / 2 AST / 5 STL*
*ties career-high – 10:55 PM

@HarrisonWind
Zeke Nnaji had six offensive rebounds the other night vs. the Clippers. He’s got six more tonight. Great hustle. – 10:54 PM




@LawMurrayTheNU
76ers extended their run to 7-0 with a Tobias Harris middy around Powell before Clippers scored on a Batum dunk from Zubac and a Jackson drive over Harrell.
Doc Rivers calls timeout after Zubac and Harrell exchanged blocks on each other. 76ers lead 41-31 with 8:34 left in half – 10:45 PM

@KyleNeubeck
Milton and Maxey with some great work in early offense/transition so far, powering this mostly-bench group to open the second. Always nice for the Sixers to pad a lead with Embiid and Harden both on the bench – 10:40 PM

@janiscarr
All the hoopla around PG’s return apparently no one is thinking about into defense. Clippers down, 39-27 less than two minutes into the second quarter. – 10:40 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers are combining turnovers with bricks. A bad combination. And now they’re getting outscored by 8 points in the Embiid/Harden off floor minutes.
39-27 76ers lead with 10:25 left to play. Clippers have missed 10 of 12 3s and shooting only 38.5% FGs overall. – 10:40 PM

@ginamizell
Sixers have opened up a 12-point lead with Embiid off the floor. “Second” unit of Niang-Milton-Harrell with Maxey and Harris faring well so far, even with PG in the game for the Clippers. – 10:40 PM


@sixers

@LawMurrayTheNU
76ers lead LA 34-27 through one quarter of play.
Another opening quarter where Clippers don’t really have it together defensively. Embiid with a game-high 13 points on 5/8 FGs to go with 4 rebounds. 76ers shot 63.2% FGs overall.
Transition defense an issue: 8-0 76ers on break. – 10:33 PM

@AdamSpolane
Justin Patton and John Wall started two games together during the 2020-2021 season. The other 3 starters in those games:

Danuel House Jr
P.J. Tucker – 10:33 PM

@LaurenMRosen
The @Philadelphia 76ers shooting well after Q1, and lead, 34-27.
Embiid in Q1: 13 PTS / 5-8 fg / 4 REB – 10:33 PM

@ginamizell
Sixers 34, Clippers 27 at the end of the first. Sixers are shooting 63.2 percent from the floor and 3-of-5 from deep. Embiid has 13 and 4. One negative for the Sixers: 4 turnovers for 5 points. – 10:32 PM

@AndrewGreif
End of 1: 76ers 34, Clippers 27
Kawhi with 7, PG with 7, Clippers shooting just 2/10 from three, though. The good: Only 2 turnovers for LAC. – 10:31 PM


@MarkG_Medina
Kawhi Leonard more upset with the no whistle than impressed with his amazing dunk lol – 10:30 PM

And Reggie Jackson is Mann’s backup. Leonard getting all or close to full first quarter shift. – 10:27 PM

@DLocke09
Last time Kawhi Leonard played both ends of a back to back was April 9th 2021. He is playing tonight for Clippers v. 76ers. Jazz v. Clippers tomorrow – 10:27 PM

@rich_hofmann
Embiid checks out of his first stint with 13 points, 4 boards and an assist. And he was made at himself, it could’ve been 15 if he caught the on-target hit-ahead pass from Harris. – 10:27 PM


@LawMurrayTheNU
RoCo is Marcus Morris Sr.’s direct backup tonight. He did not play in Philadelphia.
Batum is Zubac’s direct backup at center. – 10:24 PM


@LawMurrayTheNU
Kawhi Leonard rim protection on Joel Embiid. Leonard took a shot to face for his successful effort.
76ers lead at 21-19 with 3:57 left in opening quarter. Likely time for more reserves to cycle in. – 10:20 PM

@AndrewGreif
Paul George plays the first 6:45 before getting a sub. His first game in 12 days. – 10:18 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
Norman Powell gets Paul George out at 5:15 mark.
Looks like Doc Rivers will match Tyrese Maxey with Powell. – 10:17 PM

@ginamizell
Doc letting this version of the starting lineup go a bit longer than last game.
(Surely Maxey is going to go to the scorer’s table in 3…2…) – 10:16 PM

76ers up 19-15 with 6:11 left in opening quarter.
T Lue calls timeout after both teams alternated 10 possessions with a basket. A lot of them involving 76ers corner 3s after Embiid elbow touches and Clippers paint touches. – 10:13 PM


@PompeyOnSixers
Solid start for Embiid, who has scored nine of the Sixers’ 19 points. They lead by four points with 6:11 left in the first quarter. Embiid is shooting 3-for-4. – 10:12 PM

@ginamizell
Another hot start for Embiid, who has 9 points on 3-of-4 shooting in 5 minutes. Little bit of everything, too. Drew a foul, hit a 3, followed a miss. Also has 2 rebounds and an assist. – 10:11 PM

@sixers
another day another beautiful dime. pic.twitter.com/sdsoz4iDYJ – 10:10 PM


@AndrewGreif
Paul George took four shots in the paint, total, in his last two games, vs. MIA on Jan.2 and in Denver on Jan. 5. Both of his shots to start this game have come in the paint, both makes. Clippers need PG to be aggressive. – 10:09 PM

@SamQuinnCBS
I’d grab live lines on the Clippers right now if I were a gambler (which I am and I did). This is a classic “LA nightlife is undefeated” game. – 10:09 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
Can’t remember the last time a wing posted in the paint and got a two-hand dunk out of it.
Let alone that wing being Paul George. – 10:09 PM

@NBAKrell
Really like the Sixers switching the pnr when the ball-handler introduces Zubac into the action. Until Zubac seals down low, you’re not concerned with Tucker or someone else switching onto him 15 feet away from the basket. – 10:08 PM

I don’t recall seeing an NBA game at Staples Center (whatever, Crypto) this empty as Clippers/Sixers right now – 10:04 PM

@MarkG_Medina
Clippers coach Ty Lue on how players have handled overlapping injuries, limited minutes and different lineups: “We’ve been good. We continue to put the work in. You can’t feel for ourselves as far as who’s in and who’s out. Just continue to put the work in and be ready to play.” – 9:31 PM

@MarkG_Medina
Clippers’ Paul George will play tonight against the Sixers after missing the past five games with right hamstring soreness. Ty Lue: “I’m expecting him to be a little rusty. But he’s going to play hard, compete and do all the things he normally does.” – 9:26 PM

Not sure how feasible this is from the NBA’s perspective, but if possible the Mavs and NBA would be wise to move up Sunday’s Mavs-Clippers 6:30 p.m. tip time, which obviously conflicts with Cowboys-49ers at 5:30.
A 2 p.m. tip seems about right. – 1:25 PM
