After a strong end to the road trip with a wave of 3 consecutive wins, the Philadelphia 76ers, who have increased their vigor, returned home and ushered in the challenge of the Rockets during the seven-game losing streak.
On the 76ers side, Maxi + Sebel were sidelined at the same time, and Kolkmaz + Danny Green entered the starting line to try to help Embiid defend the home court, with a four-game winning streak.
On the Rockets side, Wood + Kevin Potter Jr. was suspended for 1 game, Gordon + Matthews returned, and whether the team can pick up the victory on the road, Jaylen Green obviously needs to play!
However, after four quarters of play, with the excellent play of Tate + Matthews + Kenjan Martin Jr., the Rockets, although in the first half, once overpowered the 76ers and achieved a slight score advantage.
But after returning from the second half, Embiid + Kolkmaz in the third quarter ushered in an outbreak at the same time, leading the 76ers to play a wave of 17-5 counterattack frenzy, instantly rewriting the trend of the game.
Coupled with the final showdown moment, Harris + Seth Curry began to exert strength, teaming up to help the 76ers expand the point difference to 20 points, completely ending the suspense of the game.
In the end, the 76ers also won 133-113 at home to win the Rockets, winning 4 consecutive wins and giving the opponent rockets 8 consecutive defeats!
Playing at home in this game, facing their own baskets and fans, the 76ers took advantage of the victory to chase, playing a team performance of 5 people scoring in double figures and all the staff.
In the case of harris + Seth Curry + Isaiah Joe and other main players, continuing a stable performance, the team's core Embiid, and the play of Tigers Kolkmaz, played a vital role!
Embiid dominated the inside line in this game, debuted 28 minutes, scored a game-high 31 points on 12-of-20 shooting, plus 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
In the face of the lack of Wood + Shenjing's Rockets inside line, Embiid not only played his own advantage, but also almost single-handedly exploded the offensive and defensive ends of the Rockets' inner line!
Of course, the 76ers were able to win big in this game, and the performance of Tigers Colkmaz was also indispensable.
In this game, Corkmaz was in danger, starting 34 minutes, shooting 8 from the middle of the line on 14 shots and hitting 3 three-pointers, contributing 24 points, 11 rebounds , 6 assists and 1 steal.
And in the third quarter, his heroic performance of scoring 11 points in a single quarter not only helped the 76ers to open the score gap smoothly, but also completely disrupted the rocket's defensive deployment, and played a vital role in the victory of the 76ers!
On the other hand, on the Rockets side, the team was comprehensively crushed at both ends of the attack and defense in this game, and finally swallowed a 20-point rout + 8 consecutive losses, which obviously needs to be examined.
But for the Rockets, this game, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, in the case of Jaylen Green + Eric Gordon and other main players, each performing his duties, the performance of Matthews, who ushered in a comeback in this game, is indeed remarkable!
Matthews was very efficient, shooting 60% of the time from 10, and hit 4 three-pointers from the outside, hitting a team-high 23 points, plus 7 rebounds and 1 assist.
Although it did not help the Rockets win, rationally speaking, as a major gain for the Rockets this season, Matthews' performance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends did not live up to the expectations of the team management!
It's just that in the absence of the two cores of Wood + Kevin Potter Jr., facing Embiid, who has gone crazy, Matthews, who has worked hard for a whole game, seems to have no choice but to accept the fact that he has lost 8 consecutive games.
As for whether this Rockets team can regain their form after the return of Wood + Kevin Porter Jr., we seem to have to wait and see!
