Facing the Utah Jazz (23-5), currently the best team in the NBA, was never going to be an easy task for the 76ers (18-10) - and it became a tougher one in the absence of Joel Embiid (back tightness).
But the Sixers were in the fight start to finish - leading by as many as 14, but ultimately falling, 134-123.
Ben Simmons scored a career-high 42 points and Tobias Harris hit a season-high 36, but the team’s struggles from deep (8-23 3PT) proved costly.
Utah excelled from long range, hitting 18 of its 45 3-point attempts. Jordan Clarkson led the way for the Jazz, finishing with 40 points on 13-for-20 shooting.
