Lots of missed assignments and bad rotations, but he was scoring in all different was, hustling to create opportunities and recognizing opening and mismatches. That he was repeatedly left wide open outside was a failing of Sixers, but had he been more tightly covered, the interior would have been less cluttered, maybe more Wall drive and finish plays.

All goes back to the PnR. 6er coach addressed this after the game. Said pick your poison. You can cover two of them but not all three.

Gortat to the rack
Wall drive or Wall mid range
Trevor A from 3

Who you going to let shoot. If all three are hot, not to much you can do about it. If why Wall adding an outside shots and change of pace was so important. And its why Gortat is helping him so much. Every piece makes it easier on the other pieces.

Add that to a tanking 6er team and like the young man said, give TA some props for hitting the shots.
Gortat has 31 the game before. So did Wall. So Wall passes more (16 asts) this game and Trevor A goes for 40 pts.
