Close early.

Harris an early no show.

No defense by either team in the 1st Q.

Harris pissing me off playing small and disinterested.

PatBev is playing much, much better than I thought he would.

38-36.

Harris is such a damn liability in big games, especially against athletic bigs. Not a factor on either end of the floor. He's especially bad on the defensive end and rebounding. He just doesn't help Embiid on the boards enough.

Harris just avoiding the physical stuff on the boards on the defensive end like the plague.

Holy Fuck what an offensive explosion from both team. Combo of disinterested defensive effort and some terrific shot making by both teams.

78-78. Halftime.

Offensive rebounds are keeping the Nuggets in this game. 14 orebs is unacceptable. Embiid has to constantly rotate to handle dribble penetration and Harris/Batum are rooted to the floor when the ball goes up.

14-3 difference.

76ers starting to slow down in this B2B.
