The Philadelphia 76ers are in the process of trying to get everything on the right page as they continue to push towards the NBA Playoffs. After starting off the road trip the right way on Wednesday, they took on the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday looking to continue to build as a team.
The Sixers started off on the right foot against the scrappy Clippers as they used a steady diet of James Harden and Joel Embiid in order to build a 21-point halftime lead. Thanks to the strong play of their star duo, Philadelphia was able to knock off the Clippers 122-97 to improve to 2-0 on the 3-game road trip.
Harden had 29 points to tie his high with the Sixers, 15 rebounds, and seven assists to lead the way, Embiid added 27 points and 10 rebounds, Matisse Thybulle added 13 points, and Tobias Harris had 12. Tyrese Maxey did add 11 points, but on 4-for-11 shooting, and he had five rebounds.
