#Suns zoning up had Bridges on Embiid. Embiid ended up scoring as Maxey got by Ayton, missed but Embiid cleaned it up.
#76ers up 6-5 – 8:06 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Tobias Harris talked yesterday about how important efficiency is for him. He came into tonight shooting 49.5 percent from the floor, but is 0-for-2 to start. His role will obviously increase for however long Harden is sidelined. – 8:04 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
#Suns 5-4 early.
Torrey Craig 3.
Deandre Ayton tip in.
Devin Booker is being guarded by his ‘rookie’ De’Anthony Melton, who played for #Suns. – 8:04 PM

Sixers immediately go to Embiid, who rattles in a jumper over Ayton. – 8:01 PM

It’s not Thursday but we love a good throwback. This was on loop in the Suns’ locker room pregame. Lots of connections the other way, too: P.J. Tucker, De’Anthony Melton and Danuel House Jr. (who is out with illness) are all former Suns. pic.twitter.com/O9b2uPAcE47:35 PM

Monty Williams says he just feels bad for Cam Johnson about his torn meniscus. “It’s just a tough blow.”
Williams said different guys — from Dario Saric to Jock Landale to Torrey Craig to Damion Lee — could step into Johnson’s spot in the starting lineup. – 6:32 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Doc Rivers said that he’s hoping to see growth from Tyrese Maxey as a playmaker with James Harden out, and how one way to measure that will be seeing how he makes reads as he attacks the paint. Said either way it will be a work in progress as he learns on the job on that front. – 6:30 PM

Doc Rivers wants #76ers to do what they did against Knicks “with Joel.”

“I’m going to be honest, it’s not the league’s decision. It was a collective decision with the players. That’s something the players came up with years ago during the bubble.” Chris Paul says players had initial idea to pause games on #ElectionDay. #Suns bit.ly/3t7M7E75:12 PM

Seventy six years ago today (Nov. 7, 1946), the Warriors played the first game in franchise history, defeating the Pittsburgh Ironmen, 81-75, in front of a crowd of 4,185 fans in Philadelphia.
