Daily News | Sixers’ fourth-quarter miscues in loss at Golden State Warriors serve as a reminder of what looms in playoffs
— Sixers standout forward Tobias Harris said Friday’s stretch run against the Warriors felt “like a playoff game in terms of sense of urgency every possession, and how every possession really adds up.”
“That’s the type of game,” Harris said, “that the margin of error is so slim. There can’t be any mistakes, the way that [the Warriors] get shots up and flow offensively.”full allotment of rotation players on Friday The defensive end of the floor is where the Sixers’ primary breakdowns occurred, behind the arc and on drives to the basket. Harris mentioned it is difficult to help against Golden State, and that while guarding sharpshooter Klay Thompson, “it’s dang near almost a box-and-1, just because of how much they move.” Embiid needed to play up more in coverages rather than around the rim, a scheme coach Doc Rivers called “exhausting.
Added Embiid: “We weren’t as physical as we we were the first three quarters. We let them get rolling. … They broke us down, and that set the tone for the rest of the fourth.”When Poole got free for a driving dunk to cut the Sixers’ lead to 93-91 with 8 minutes, 27 seconds remaining, Rivers called timeout to re-insert Embiid. The dominant center tried to will his team to victory, scoring 13 consecutive points to push the Sixers back in front by two.
