PHLY Sixers Podcast: Postgame: 76ers' cold shooting night leads to loss to Suns

POSTGAME 2

The Philadelphia 76ers (14-20) had an awful shooting night and simply could not overcome the poor team percentage, multiple scoring droughts, missed free throws and the absence of Joel Embiid in their 109-99 loss to the Phoenix Suns (16-18). Back home after a 4-2 six-game trip, the Sixers led at the break by four but the Suns outscored the 76ers 36-27 in the third quarter to build a double-digit lead and did more than enough to secure the win.

Kelly Oubre was really good in his return, putting together a 26-point, 11-rebound double-double with Tyrese Maxey adding team-highs of 31 points and 10 assists. Guerschon Yabusele filled in for Embiid at center and totaled 14 points and 10 boards. Bradley Beal paced Phoenix in scoring with 25 off the bench including 13 in the third.

The PHLY Sixers crew breaks down what went wrong in Philadelphia’s 10th home loss of the season.
