The Sixers had an ugly OT win against the Hornets Sunday night. Jared McCain scored 27 off the bench, the first rookie this season to score 20+ as a substitute:

Jared McCain can make all the TikToks he wants if he keeps having games like this. Make all the vlogs he wants. You put in 23 in the second half/OT and play defense like this you can shuck and jive on my iPhone as much as you heart desires and I can’t say anything about it.

Look at this defense:

Also, shoutout to Guerschon Yabusele, who has been one of the best free agent signings this season. He poured in 20 off the bench. His shooting really stretches the floor for the Sixers and it looks like Nick Nurse is starting to trust him over Andre Drummond. Of course the Sixers couldn’t make it easy because they never make it easy. They were up 16 at one point and squandered the lead. They started 1-14 from three and Jeff Dowtin even got some burn in the first half. Also, when do we start becoming worried about Caleb Martin? His shooting numbers are all down.  Maybe Joel Embiid comes back from his suspension Tuesday and everything will improve offensively. Who knows? Anyway could you imagine watching this after Jared McCain drops 27 on your team? –
