Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing with such great energy tonight. Everything clicking for the most part for OKC and it is paying off on the scoreboard against this tough 76ers team at full strength. – 7:20 PM

Thunder up 9 early and Embiid already has two fouls four minutes into the game.
He doesn’t end up in foul trouble often, but imagine he’s going to get pretty selective with his contests at the rim on defense, which could make matters much worse – 7:19 PM

Rough start for the Sixers tonight against OKC.
They are down 16-7 early and Joel Embiid has two fouls on him. Looked like Doc Rivers may have wanted to challenge the second one but didn’t get word in time. – 7:18 PM

Thunder have started a blistering 4-of-5 deep, and have gotten one from every starter except Josh Giddey. OKC leads 14-7 about four minutes into this one. – 7:17 PM
