The trio of Poole-Bey-Williamson knocks down the Sixers

Even on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pelicans managed to find the resources to beat the Sixers, who were without Paul George and Joel Embiid. Behind the trio of Poole-Bey-Williamson, it was the entire James Borrego collective that contributed with 8 players scoring 7 points or more.

The Sixers took the lead in the first half, with the contribution of the Edgecombe-Grimes-Oubre triple to support Tyrese Maxey in the goal (57-65). But Nick Nurse’s men were never able to shake off the resilient Pelicans, like DeAndre Jordan’s performance and Zion Williamson’s toughness.

Philadelphia finally cracked

The home team then fought to come back three times, after Saddik Bey scored for 12-2 (76-76), on a strong dunk by Karl Matkovic (84-84), and then on a three-pointer by Jordan Poole (89-89).

At their moment, the Pelicans eventually took the lead, ending the third quarter with a 13-2 run with six points for Karl Matkovic (97-91). Three-pointers by Karl Matkovic, Bryce McGowens twice, then Jordan Poole also allowed the home team to score twice, this time inflicting a fatal 15-2 (120-99) on the Sixers.

In a day without threes (12/46), Philly quickly surrendered to concentrate on the next one tonight on the floor of the Wolves (126-111).

WHAT TO REMEMBER

Pelicans collective. Jordan Poole, Sadiq Bey and Zion Williamson gave Philly a lot of problems during the match. But it’s the team winning that will remain from this success, with eight players scoring 7 points or more. Everyone did their part to push Philly to the brink.

Karlo Matković falls on time. A symbol of the valuable contribution of the “player” in this match, the Pelicans substitute scored a perfect 12 points, 3/3 shooting including 2/2 three-pointers in 18 minutes. Above all, he scored valuable points late in the third quarter and early in the fourth to help topple the Sixers.

DeAndre Jordan black du frigo. The 27-year-old pivot has not played since October 29! However, he was called as if nothing had happened, he was inserted into the five to play a total of more than 30 minutes and provide a proud service with his huge presence in the paint, but also with his 6 points and 15 rebounds and 4 blocks!
