OKC Thunder Pull Off Upset Victory vs. 76ers in South Philly (Sports Illustrated)

The Oklahoma City Thunder find success against the Philadelphia 76ers on the road.

The Sixers looked like they were beginning to lose control of the game at the end of the third quarter. Eventually, the young squad became too much for the Sixers to deal with on Thursday. Looking to ride the momentum of their last first-quarter performance, the Sixers dealt with a setback initially. For the final minute, the Sixers and the Thunder traded baskets before knotting the score at 35 at the end of one quarter. As the team struggled to slow down Gilgeous-Alexander, they entered the final quarter of the outing trailing by double-digits. Within minutes, the Sixers went from trailing double-digits to getting out in front of the Thunder. Not long after losing the lead, the Thunder tightened up their game and followed the lead of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This time around, the Thunder paid a visit to the Sixers in South Philly. Harris was able to get up with some assistance and gingerly walked off the court and into the locker room. The first quarter was filled with shooting struggles for the Sixers at first. With eight minutes left in the first quarter, the Thunder went up 16-7, sending the Sixers into a timeout. Since then, the Sixers have gone on a 4-1 run.

Just two days after the 76ers thumped Detroit by 31, they let the Thunder shoot 54% in the third.

The Thunder got a huge road win Thursday in Philadelphia, beating the 76ers 133-114, and OKC did it behind a massive third-quarter performance.

• Rivers was asked what rookie Shai was like: “When he came in the league, he played at an NBA pace already,” Rivers said. “Early on, anytime we threw him out there he was ready to play, he was ready to make shots, and he’s also a hard-playing guy,” Daigneault said. He put the Thunder on the scoreboard with a 3-pointer, which Embiid dared him to shoot. Tonight I thought he was ready to compete on the defensive end. And while J-Will was limited to 18 minutes due to foul trouble Thursday — four in the first half — he battled against Embiid. We came ready to play at the jump, and I think we never let up.” Like in the first Thunder-Sixers matchup, J-Will got the start against Embiid. “When we play guys like that and teams that are so highly talented, it’s easy to get up for,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. I see the growth in the last five months, year, two years, and I’m super excited about it.” “Great poise by the guys,” Daigneault said. "It shows that we belong,” Giddey said of the win. Before Thursday, the Thunder had outscored opponents by 13.6 points per 100 possessions in the third quarter.
