Jaden McDaniels, deadpan delivery, on what worked for the Timberwolves offensively. Jaden: Go at Jokic, Jamal, all the bad defenders. Tim Hardaway, Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon, their whole team.” Q: They’re all bad defenders? Jaden: “Yeah, they’re all bad defenders.”

I still love that part of Da Brat’s verse on the remix was set to the Firecracker melody/rhythm as a secret clapback to the whole mess those people perpetrated on her.

Some Tyrese Maxey video postgame tonight talking about some adjustments they might try to make on offense

He's returned to the game.

Maxey was upset after Robinson wasn't called for a foul on him, and during the ensuing arguing with Zach Zarba during the timeout, Zarba assessed a technical to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope appeared to be grabbing at his right wrist as the Sixers call time. Looks like he's in a decent amount of pain.

Adem Bona and John Collins draw double techs after Bona dunked on him and they had a little exchange down the floor.

11-for-19 from the line tonight so far for the Sixers.

They pick up where they left off and what was once a 21-point game is now 5 with a 9-2 start. 18-2 run overall extended to the last 93 seconds of the second quarter.

9-0 run to close the half for the Sixers, who trail 56-44. When they create turnovers, rebound and get out in transition, they're dangerous. When they don't and it becomes a halfcourt game tonight, it's trouble.

Offensive rating of 66.7 so far tonight in the halfcourt for the Sixers.

Adem Bona has helped steady the ship with some rebounding. Six overall in his first stint.

Thankfully Joe is able to come back out to shoot his free throws and stay in the game.

Oof, Labaron Philon Jr. with a hard foul on Isaiah Joe, who hit the deck HARD. He's slow to get up.

The early returns on small-ball center for the Sixers are less than inspiring. Detroit starts the game 12-1. No Sixer has grabbed a rebound. They're credited with 2 team rebounds.

VJ Edgecombe (abdominal contusion) is out tonight, the Sixers say

Nick Nurse said VJ Edgecombe (abdominal contusion, questionable) got hurt when he got kneed in the midsection last night, but was sore today after playing through it last night.

It was an eventful 30th birthday yesterday for Jaylen Brown. Another good game in his new home, plus some words for former teammate: inquirer.com/sixers/76ers-ja…

Joel Embiid tonight, on his triple double and Jaylen Brown’s contributions so far

A little of Jaylen Brown responding to Jayson Tatum’s comments. Said multiple times “There’s no beef but there might be a little lamb chop,” or something similar to that effect.
