Daily News | Sixers go splat in 129-100 loss to Nets in Ben Simmons’ return to Philly
Sixers Joel Embiid wipes his face after colliding with the Nets' Nic Claxton during the 2nd quarter at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Thursday, March 10, 2022.Allen Iverson arrived before tip-off. Julius Erving rang the bell.
It was the first true stinker in the James Harden era now with a six-game sample size. The loss dropped the Sixers to a game back of the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, who sit in second place in the Eastern Conference. It also gave the Nets a 3-1 win in the teams’ regular-season series, though this game was most representative of the rosters each team will take into the playoffs .
The MVP-contending Embiid finished with 27 points and 12 rebounds, but generated the vast majority of his points on a 15-of-19 mark from the free-throw line. Drummond, meanwhile, totaled 7 points and 7 rebounds in 21 minutes. The sometimes-volatile Drummond Experience was on display in the second half, when he whiffed twice at the rim but did secure a pass from Durant for a layup late in the third.
Curry then made two more three-pointers after returning in the second quarter to match his scoring average with the Nets in the first half. In the third, he hit a falling deep shot and then another three-pointer, which forced Rivers to call timeout with his team trailing , 90-65, at the 6:02 mark. About 30 seconds later, Curry collected a steal and converted the transition layup to stretch the Nets’ lead to 94-65.
