He scored 10 of those points in the opening frame by constantly attacking the paint, including on an emphatic one-handed dunk after whiffing on a wide-open layup. He also made all four of his free throws and totaled five assists during that first quarter. Reed and Niang were the first subs, replacing Embiid and Green. Furkan Korkmaz got meaningful minutes for the first time in this series, replacing Harris. The Sixers finished the first quarter and started the second with Maxey, Milton, Korkmaz, Niang and Embiid, before Harris and Green quickly re-entered.
