Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is fouled as he drives to the basket against San Antonio Spurs forward Zach Collins during the first half of an NBA basketball game in San Antonio, Friday, Feb. 3, 2023. Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers recalled before Friday night’s game against the Spurs how tough it was for him coaching a Boston Celtics team that won just 24 games during the 2006-07 season.
The Sixers shot 52.9 percent from the field and 48.1 percent from 3-point range to avenge an early-season loss to the Spurs in Philadelphia. Despite being outmanned, the Spurs fought back from a 23-point deficit with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter to pull within 10 with about five minutes left. They did it with a starting five that included Branham and fellow rookie Dominick Barlow, who was called up from Austin on Friday morning.
The score was knotted at 26 at the end of the first quarter, but Philadelphia used an 11-0 run to outscore the Spurs 47-35 in the second period. The 47 points were the most scored in the second quarter this season by a Spurs foe. The Spurs used it to select Branham, a one-and-done guard with three-level scoring skills from Ohio State.
