It was basically the Kawhi and Siakam show. They couldn't miss in the first half (both had 20+ points on ridiculous shooting percentages by halftime) and the Sixers had no answers for them. We did a decent job shutting out Reddick in the first half but he heated up in the 3rd. Gasol stayed on Embiid and hounded him with some really solid defense. Ibaka was... frustrating to watch. He had a couple of decent defensive plays but there were more than a couple of really, really bad misplays from him. We held a tentative double digit lead for the first 3 quarters and the Sixers had a few brave rallies to try to close the gap but at about the 10 min mark (coincidentally, when Kawhi was subbed in for Pascal) in the 4th, we just decided they weren't going to score anymore and that was basically when the game starting to slip away from Philly. I'm serious: Philly had 85 pts at 10:05 and the next time they scored was at the 5:48 mark. We just shut them down and it was beautiful
