Philadelphia 76ers 133, San Antonio Spurs 126 (Final/OT2)

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
The triple take: 76ers 133, Spurs 126 (2OT)
1. Wemby was a monster again, but not all his big numbers were good
2. Champagnie once bitten, twice shy
3. It looks like Keldon Johnson’s season might be over, too.

Wemby says he tries to stay “a little humble” when they win and tries not too “collapse” when they lose…”I think the only time we’ll celebrate a win for many days and weeks is when we win the whole thing.” – 12:25 AM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
I love watching young players develop in front of my eyes..players like @AyoDos_11 @CobyWhite @jalensuggs @Pp_doesit the NBA is in very good hands…if Wemby stays healthy he’ll go down as the greatest player ever. It’s mind blowing what he’s doing as a rookie. – 12:10 AM

Tyrese Maxey is obviously reason no. 1 Philly beat San Antonio tonight.
Reason no. 2 is Ricky Council IV’s ability to process the game on the move. When he’s at his best, very good sense for what’s happening around him, especially for a UDFA.

The Sixers were so close to adding one to the loss column.
And then, Tyrese Maxey took over.
And with some help from Ricky Council IV, the Sixers won their fifth straight.

MIA: ATL, DAL, TOR.

The Spurs still haven’t won a game when allowing 130 or more on defense.
Fall to 0-14 when that happens. Part of the scoring increasing was the teams going to double OT. – 10:32 PM

Double-OT win by Embiid-less 76ers at Spurs another blow tonight by Heat. No. 8 Heat trail No. 7 Sixers by half game but still control destiny there for homecourt in potential No. 7-No. 8 game if win out, by virtue of conference-record tiebreaker. – 10:05 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
By my math, Maxey had scored or assisted on 21 of the last 27 Sixers points until that Ricky Council IV and-one.
In a 2OT victory, the Sixers will cling on to hope of avoiding the Play-In.
Maxey sank the Heat earlier this week in Miami, and just sank them to the 8-seed for now. – 10:04 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Sixers escape with a win in San Antonio, and move into seventh in the Eastern Conference, and now go home for their three final games riding a five-game winning streak and still having a shot to get out of the play-in. – 10:03 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Ricky Council, pass of the season? – 10:00 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
The Sixers are playing their biggest game of the season, in double overtime in San Antonio, and Ricky Council is making some truly massive plays down the stretch, powering Philly to a 10-0 run to give the Sixers a 7-point lead with 1:09 to go. What a fun game this has been. – 10:00 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
With the challenge being made successful, Wemby collects his 7th block of the game. – 9:57 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
On that second angle, I think it’s going to be a goaltend on Wemby. But holy heck is that closer than it looked live. Dude has goaltends that just *look* like they have to be goaltends because no human being should be able to cover ground that quickly. – 9:56 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Victor Wenbanyama’s length is truly insane.
Just committed a goaltend – I think – on a Tyrese Maxey layup on a shot that no one else would’ve had a prayer of coming close to blocking. – 9:55 PM

Maxey 50 points, 6 ast
Wemby 33 points, 16 rebounds, 6 blocks, 6 assists – 9:43 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
IMO the Sixers have to stop auto doubling Wemby in double OT.
If he beats you then fine, their options against him aren’t great, but he’s had heavy legs for like 8 straight minutes. Don’t concede open threes to sell out against him posting up Batum – 9:43 PM
Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Fun fact:
Tyrese Maxey and Victor Wembanyama – who have combined for 83 points tonight thus far – have both worked with the same trainer, Tim Martin, in Dallas.
I’d imagine Tim is enjoying this game mightily. – 9:42 PM

Kind of a sleepwalk-y first quarter here at the Frost. Short-handed Sixers lead short-handed Spurs 31-24. Kelly Oubre already up to 12 points. – 7:37 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
#Pacers on the verge of beating the #Heat, which would earn them in the H2H tiebreaker, a potential 3way tiebreaker with MIA and the #76ers, along with a 1.5 game lead over MIA for 6 with 3 remaining. – 7:23 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Kelly Oubre Jr. has been terrific to start this game. He’s been aggressive on offense and using his athleticism to get some easy baskets. #Sixers7:22 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Tyrese Maxey has gotten really good at staying connected to his man on DHOs and blowing up the play just after the hand-off for steals in the open floor. – 7:20 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Wemby missed deep three where his foot was right next to the Spur logo near mid-court. – 7:17 PM

Heat down by 17 at half in most important game of year. Disappointing. If this holds, play-in likely, though not definite. One path to avoid play in, with loss tonight, would be Heat strong close/ Magic collapse (Orlando has Bucks twice, at Houston, at 76ers, and Bulls tonight). – 6:06 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Sixers point guard Tyrese Maxey will play tonight vs. the Spurs, while Tobias Harris will miss his third straight game with a left knee contusion. – 6:06 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
With Suns and #Pelicans both losing to Spurs recently, wondered what each team’s record is vs. the nine #NBA teams that have been eliminated from postseason contention:
NOP 19-5 (losses 2X to Mem with Morant, 2X to Uta in Nov., SAS)
Phx 18-7 (losses 3X to SAS, Mem, Por, Tor, Bkn) – 5:48 PM

Nick Nurse on Wemby: “My first thought is, what are we doing offensively so that he doesn’t block 100 shots?”
He’s a problem defensively. – 5:37 PM
Matthew Tynan @Matthew_Tynan
Pop says Keldon Johnson will play tonight, but he’ll be on a minutes restriction of some kind. – 5:27 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
#Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (foot) will play tonight vs. the #Sixers. – 5:22 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Last time Clippers had a matinee game here was two weeks ago today. 76ers dropped 41 points on them after looking harmless against the Lakers
Today! Same thing!
Cavaliers lead 40-33 through one quarter of play. 10:1 AST-TO ratio for Cavaliers, Evan Mobley with 11 on 5/7 FGs – 4:08 PM
