Kristaps Porzingis guilty of defensive 3 seconds and Doc Rivers lets him know about it to which KP admits so laughing and daps up the 76ers head coach. – 7:03 PM

#Sixers are on a 9-0 run to close the gap to three points with 4:41 before intermission. Paul Reed has been on the floor for the last seven points. His dunk made it a 47-44 game, leading to the Wizards calling a timeout. – 6:59 PM

Paul Reed checks in and:
– bats the ball out to Harden for a triple off of a miss
– walls off Beal at the rim and gets a stop
– rim-runs and gets a dunk in transition
5-point swing in like 30 seconds of game time. – 6:58 PM

(2/2) I think the Wizards would be better off in this game against this opponent (without Embiid) to play more deliberately in the halfcourt and be more patient with their attempts. Their impatience just led to a mini-run by the Sixers. – 6:58 PM

You can tell Kuzma is trying to be more aggressive after taking only 5 shots on Mon. This was a strong move to set up Gafford for the slam. pic.twitter.com/queqXA1MC7 – 6:57 PM

(1/2) I know the Wizards want to get out in transition off Sixers misses because that can create easy scoring opportunities. But the Wizards are rushing some of their possessions in the halfcourt, leading to misses and Sixers transition opportunities. – 6:57 PM

The Wizards have done a superb job over the last several minutes of recognizing Daniel Gafford’s offensive mismatches against smaller defenders deep in the paint — and then passing to Gafford for high-percentage shot attempts. Gafford has eight points in six minutes. – 6:49 PM

It didn’t end up costing them on that possession, but the Wizards failing to match up off of a made basket leading to Daniel Gafford guarding Tyrese Maxey bringing the ball up epitomizes their defensive struggles. – 6:47 PM

The first quarter ends with Washington ahead of Philadelphia 31-25. That was the best defensive quarter the Wizards have played in some time. They had good attention to detail, improved pick-and-roll defense and better transition defense. – 6:39 PM

Do not know what the happened exactly, but James Harden appeared to hurt his left leg on a drive (maybe he banged knees?). Looks like he is staying in the game, but a bit of an awkward play and fall there. – 6:18 PM
