PHLY Sixers Podcast: Postgame: Sixers get destroyed by Pelicans following late Joel Embiid scratch

With Joel Embiid sidelined due to an illness, the visiting Philadelphia 76ers were outclassed by Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night. The Sixers fell behind 39-24 in the first quarter and never truly challenged from there on out, despite a strong second half performance from Tyrese Maxey and a late 17-2 Sixers run to make it look respectable.

Kyle Neubeck and Derek Bodner break down the ghastly defense, the sloppy passing, and the comeback that came up short as the Sixers fall to 12-6 on the season.
