The Philadelphia 76ers were able to come away with an easy 123-103 win over the Sacramento Kings where they led by as many as 28 and they got big performances up and down the roster. Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tobias Harris, and Matisse Thybulle all played a hand in Philadelphia picking up this win.
Embiid had 31 points and seven rebounds, Harden had 21 points, 15 assists, and seven rebounds, while Harris added 21 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds and he played great defense on Kings guard De’Aaron Fox.
Then there’s Thybulle who had a season-high 15 points while knocking down three triples. He was able to overcome picking up two fouls within the first minute of the game to help Embiid and the Sixers pick up the win.
NBA Twitter gave their best reactions to what the team did as they beat up on the Kings and won their third straight game on this homestand:

Joel Embiid scores, blocks Davion Mitchell emphatically, grabs the rebound, leads the break and throws a nifty assist to Tobias Harris for a dunk. Sacramento calls timeout. Embiid has 16 points on five field goal attempts (lmao). Even by his remarkable standards, this is unreal

17 points, 10 assists and 5 steals for James Harden that half. Was masterful offensively and quite solid defensively. One of the best halves he’s played for the Sixers.

Only 2-7 from three tonight, and a few of those misses were open, but this has been one of Tobias Harris’ most well-rounded games of the year IMO. He’s done a terrific job defending De’Aaron Fox, has scored at all three levels and has seven boards and nine assists (!!!)
