Details and Personal Analysis
At the beginning of the game the 76ers took the initiative against a Thunders who took time to wake up, but from the second half everything changed because Oklahoma increased its defensive level and improved its offensive, but 76ers had his new secret weapon Tobias Harris, who in the decisive moments behaved like a bully in series, first converting a great shot from the perimeter over the mark and then attacking the key, certain errors and losses in the 76ers did not allow them to have a more comfortable victory but in the end could find the win, but the most relevant Philadelphia breaks with a streak of 19 consecutive defeats against Thunder, the longest drought against an NBA team. When Philadelphia defeated OKC on November 15, 2008, Joel Embiid was 14 years old and had not yet started playing basketball in his native Cameroon, and Russell Westbrook was a rookie guard for a rookie franchise, the paradox is that neither Embiid nor George could play this game.
