When the Philadelphia 76ers started the season on a four-game winning streak, fans knew something was different. One focal point was Philadelphia’s offensive shift to an offensive system that demands increased tempo and ball movement. Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, VJ Edgecombe have thrived within this playstyle, but it finally spread throughout the entire roster against the Brooklyn Nets.
Philadelphia (5-1) trounced Brooklyn (0-6) 129-105 at Barclays Center on Sunday night. In a game without Embiid, Paul George, and Jared McCain, the 76ers displayed their revamped offense against a lesser opponent. Philadelphia received key offensive contributions from its role players in Kelly Oubre Jr, Quentin Grimes, and Trendon Watford.
