Upset 12-point fiasco! The Suns defeated the 76ers, Durant single-core cut 31+7, Embiid 26 points

At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on November 5, the NBA regular season ushered in a contest between the favorite teams in the East and West, and the Suns challenged the 76ers away. The Suns' embarrassing experience in the first two games is still fresh in my mind, as they lost back-to-back home games to Wembanyama's Spurs. In the first meeting between the two sides, the Suns were reversed by 20 points, and in the second game, Booker returned, and the Spurs crushed the whole game, leading by as many as 27 points at one point and finally winning. The Suns, who have tasted two consecutive defeats, have a record of 2 wins and 3 losses, ranking 12th in the West. In the game against the 76ers, Booker, who came back for one game, was absent again, and Beal has not played a regular season game for the Suns because of a back problem.

The 76ers recently closed the Harden trade, but that doesn't seem to have any real impact on them. With Embiid and Maxey playing, the 76ers have only lost to the Bucks in the opening game so far. Prior to this game, the 76ers had a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, sitting in second place in the East. Embiid, the team's big core, averaged 30.3 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists per game. It also shows that Embiid's goal this season is still to be the regular season MVP. Maxey was also strong, averaging 27.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. It's really impossible to say who will win or lose this game! The two sides started the game, with Durant, Gordon, Allen, Nurkic and Bates on the Suns' side. The 76ers are Maxey, Embiid, Melton, Oubre and Harris.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Nurkic scored a backhand layup to kick off the game. Oubre responded with a three-pointer from the outside, and Gordon scored seven straight points on a lay-out. Embiid didn't show weakness, making four free throws and hitting a breakaway jumper. Durant continued to attack the basket, won 5 free throws, and scored 8 points in a single quarter. Maxey had a very poor hand, making only 2 of 6 shots. The two sides chase after me and bite the difference tightly. After half a quarter, the 76ers Melton hit a solid shot from the outside, and Embiid followed up with a three-pointer. On the Suns' side, Nurkic also hit a three-pointer, and with Goodwin's three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter ended with the Suns trailing the 76ers by one point at 24-25.

In the second quarter of the game, Maxi first assisted Oubre to score an empty cut, and then broke through and hit a shot independently, leading the team to a wave of 8-2 small climax. The Suns Eubanks scored four straight points under the basket, and Allen hit a three-pointer from the outside. In the half quarter, the two sides made substitutions and adjustments, Maxey hit a basket, Embiid and Oubre attacked the basket successively, and the 76ers played another wave of 8-0 to stretch the difference to 10 points. Durant began to exert his strength, scoring six points in a row on inside and outside shots. However, the 76ers' Oubre scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the first quarter. Harris scored 4 points in a row, and at the end of the period, Suns Nurkic and Okogie scored the basket successively. At halftime, the Suns trailed the 76ers by seven points, 45-52.

At the beginning of the second half, Eubanks drew a foul under the basket and hit 2 free throws. Embiid immediately hooked his hand to score, and the 76ers were full of firepower from the outside, Embiid, Melton, and Oubre made 3 consecutive three-hits to open the game into a wave of 9-2. The Suns' Bates hit a timely three-pointer from the outside to stabilize the situation, however, Embiid also scored 2+1 on consecutive baskets and scored 7 points alone. After Allen scored a three-pointer, Durant scored 8 points in a row to the basket, leading the team to a wave of 12-3 counterattack, and the difference was once narrowed to 2 points. The third quarter ended with Embiid hitting an outside shot, and the Suns trailed the 76ers by five points at 75-80.

In the final quarter of the game, 76ers Korkmaz broke through the pick-and-roll and scored, and Durant continued to kill the inside, making 8 free throws in a row at the beginning of the game, and scoring 9 points in a row to try to narrow the difference. But the 76ers blossomed in more points, Korkmaz's outside three-pointer rose and fell, Harris scored 4 points in a row, and Maximi scored 8 points on a burst shot, leading the team to a 10-2 offensive wave and extending the advantage to 18 points. Yuta Watanabe made a three-point shot to stabilize the situation, and on the 76ers' side, Maxey and Oubre broke through one after another. In the last 2 minutes, the margin was still in double digits, and the Suns switched to the bench early. In the end, the Suns lost 100-112 to the 76ers.
