The Spurs have been on the other side of contests like this a few times this year, but tonight was their turn to see the ugly side of a short-staffed blowout as Joel Embiid and the Sixers obliterated them 119-100. The patchwork lineups of the Spurs weren’t short on effort, but a terrible first quarter put the team into a deep hole they never climbed out of. The Spurs made some runs, but every time they were able to get the deficit into the 10-12 point range, poorly timed turnovers and inopportune fouls kept the game out of reach.
