Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Sixers trail the Pacers 31-22 at the end of 1. Haliburton has 12 points and 3 assists on 4 made 3s.
Pacers advantages in made 3s (6-3) and turnovers (5 for the Sixers, 1 for the Pacers) have been the major differences so far.
Embiid has just 3 points on 1-5 shooting, but has – 7:41 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Through one quarter, the Sixers’ offense has looked good when Indiana sends crappy, half-hearted doubles at Embiid, and bad the rest of the time – 7:40 PM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
After one, the Sixers trail Indiana, 31-22. Haliburton hit four threes, Embiid had four assists. – 7:39 PM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
Embiid has four assists in the first quarter, with the latest coming on a crisp bounce pass to Jared McCain for a three when McCain’s defender crept in Embiid’s direction – 7:32 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
A KJ Martin layup, off of a nice feed from Embiid when the Pacers doubled, ended Indiana’s 12-0 run. The Sixers had gone scoreless over the previous 5 minutes of play.
16-11 Indy lead with 4:07 left in the first. – 7:28 PM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
Sixers have altered their substitution patterns quite a bit. Second lineup of the game is McCain, Oubre Jr., George, KJ Martin, Embiid. However, they just went four minutes and 58 seconds without scoring before Embiid found KJ Martin wide open under the basket. Timeout Pacers. – 7:28 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Pacers have been doubling Embiid every time in the post early on here in the first quarter, and he’s had an easy kickout every time, the latest one to Paul George at the top for a 3. Sixers up 9-4 with 8:36 left in the first. – 7:17 PM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
Well, that’s the vision: Joel Embiid draws a second defender on a post-up and kicks it out to Paul George for an open spot-up three. – 7:15 PM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
Joel Embiid finds a cutting Kelly Oubre Jr. for a bucket to open the game. Was a great set. Oubre has the Tyrese Hailburton assignment; Guerschon Yabusele is guarding Pascal Siakam. – 7:12 PM

Sixers starters:
Maxey
Oubre
George

Gina Mizell: Joel Embiid (impact to right side of face) will not return tonight and will undergo further testing, per Sixers. Photos show he was touching the right of his face while on the ground, which is the side that had the orbital fracture in the playoffs two seasons ago. -via Bluesky / December 13, 2024
