The Philadelphia 76ers continue their new road trip tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
A 106-96 win in Boston on Tuesday night kicked the trip off in dominating fashion as the Sixers got a huge performance from Joel Embiid. Embiid scored 35 points in 33 minutes against a heavily under-matched Celtics frontcourt.
Danny Green had a hot shooting night for the Sixers as well against the Celtics, scoring 17 points and going 5-of-6 from three. A dominant defensive showing holding Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to a combined 13-of-27 from the field also kept Boston at bay.
