The game featured a marquee big man matchup, with Joel Embiid (18.5 points, 6.3 rebounds per game entering the contest) going up against Rudy Gobert, one of the most disruptive defensive players in the game today. The Jazz then used a methodical 10-0 run in the middle of the third quarter to blow the game open, and the 76ers never got close after that.ĭespite being without starting point guard George Hill and on the tail end of a back-to-back, the Jazz defense was too much for the 76ers to handle, holding the Sixers to just 40.3 percent shooting from the field and forcing Brett Brown‘s squad into 18 turnovers on the night, 8 more than Utah. Unfortunately Embiid would pick up his 3rd and 4th fouls just moments later, forcing the Sixers to turn to their struggling bench and slowing down their momentum. The Sixers used a 4-0 run to start the third quarter and within 5 points, 52-47, after Joel Embiid sank two free-throws with 10:46 remaining in the third quarter. Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes combined for 52 points in that game. Their last win prior to December 1st occurred on November 22nd, 2013. The loss dropped the Sixers to 0-6 on the season, and the Sixers have now lost 43 consecutive games in October and November stretched over the past four seasons. The Philadelphia 76ers continued their slide to start the season, falling to the Utah Jazz by a score of 109-84 Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
