Player grades: Tobias Harris, short-handed Sixers beat up on Thunder

Tobias Harris and the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers blow out the Oklahoma City Thunder to end their road trip.

The Philadelphia 76ers paid a visit to the Paycom Center on Saturday night to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder looking to end their four-game road trip on the right note. They had lost their previous two games on the trip and were looking to go 2-2 on this trip.

They would have to do it short-handed as they were missing James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, and PJ Tucker all due to injury management. It didn’t matter as Philadelphia built a large 33-point lead in the first half on their way to a 115-96 win over the Thunder. Tobias Harris was a perfect 7-for-7 in the first half and had 23 points for the game for Philadelphia.

Joel Embiid had 16 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists, and four blocks Shake Milton had 18 points and five assists in a start, De’Anthony Melton added 17 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, and Matisse Thybulle drew a start and scored nine points. Montrezl Harrell added nine points and six rebounds while Danuel House Jr. had eight and five rebounds off the bench.
