Joel Embiid Drops 38 on the Celtics IN Boston & Flyers Fall Shorthanded to the Avs!

The Philadelphia Sixers went into Boston and handed the Celtics their first home-loss of the season! Joel Embiid absolutely dominated scoring 38 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, six assists, and one block.This game came down to the wire and either team could have won, but the Sixers were consistently falling short in years past so it feels nice to be on the victorious end. Ben Simmons struggled offensively and it's obvious Brad Stevens just knows how to take him out of the game completely on that side of the floor. With that being said, in a hostile environment late in the game, he went two for two from the free throw line to help the squad secure the win. Tobias Harris was aggressive in the second half and Josh Richardson had some good moments. Mike Scott hit five three-pointers and was +17 as Brett Brown put him in the starting lineup since Al Horford was not available to play. The defense by the Sixers picked up in the second half. Kemba scored his points, but they held Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to a combined eight of 27 from the field. 
The Philadelphia Flyers lose to the Colorado Avalanche by a score of 3-1. They entered the game without Oskar Lindblom and Travis Konecny which is a huge loss considering they are very important offensive players in this lineup. David Kase made his NHL debut because of this. The Flyers competed hard and did everything they could in terms of effort, but they ran into a better team while being shorthanded. This normally isn't a recipe for success. Carter Hart made awesome saves including an impressive glove save that can be a top play of the season. Mikko Rantanen scored two goals and Nathan MacKinnon recorded an assist. Pavel Francouz stood on his head.
