PHILADELPHIA — A pair of former University of Tennessee basketball players helped the Philadelphia 76ers pick up a home victory Monday night.
Josh Richardson and Tobias Harris each had a big game in Philadelphia’s, 120-113, win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Richardson, who joined the Sixers in a draft night trade that sent Jimmy Butler to the Miami Heat, scored 23 points, pulled down two rebounds and dished out four assists before fouling out late in the fourth quarter.
Harris, who joined Philadelphia at the trade deadline last season via a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, added 18 points. He also had six boards and four assists.
