POSTGAME 11
In one of the most embarrassing losses of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers got blown out by the 15-win New Orleans Pelicans 126-111, with the Sixers being outscored by 23 points in the second half.
The Pelicans, who were playing on the second night of a back-to-back and without the services of starter Trey Murphy III, got 21 points from Zion Williamson, 23 off the bench from Jordan Poole, and 20 from Saddiq Bey in a balanced attack. New Orleans shot 17-34 from 3-point range on the night.
The Sixers have now dropped four games in a row as they try to navigate the absences of Joel Embiid and Paul George. Tyrese Maxey struggled in this one, shooting just 9-23 from the field and 2-11 from 3-point range. Kelly Oubre Jr added 25.
