Liberty Ballers: for Philadelphia 76ers fans
Sports:Basketball
Welcome back, Joel Hans Embiid!
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks at the crib at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia by a final score of 104-101. The Sixers were given a little extra Cameroonian gas when it was announced that Embiid would be returning from injury – unexpectedly, if you ask your hosts Adio Royster and David Early.
That said, Embiid led the Sixers to the win scoring 30 points and adding eight rebounds and seven assists. Tobias Harris paced the team to start and finished with 24 and ten rebounds. Shake Milton continued his hot scoring streak with 21, and as a result, the Sixers move into fifth place in the Eastern Conference, with James Harden set to return within the next week or two.
The defense was equally as impressive as their offensive attack holding All-Star guard Trae Young to 18 points off 6/14 from the field and only one of four from three-point range. Now that the Sixers have hit a bit of a stride with some unexpected places, they head to Memphis and Cleveland later this week.
In part two of the podcast, Adio and Dave reflect on the return of one Benjamin Simmons to the Wells Fargo Center last week and what the atmosphere seemed like as the boos and the jeers of the crowd oozed through televisions and reverberations of said boos could be felt all over the city of Philadelphia.
Now that we’re officially past the first visit, how could it/should it be any time Simmons comes to town? Adio and Dave discuss that and more on tonight’s podcast.
