Niang battled in this game, looking much closer to the man who started the year on fire than the guy he has been over the last month or so. He also committed a heinous foul at the end of the first quarter, picked up a lazy three-second violation, and.wait, he actually got stops against Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic? Do I need to get my vision checked? The duality of man as explained by Georges Niang - Philadelphia's bench sharpshooter came out with both guns blazing on the offensive end of the floor, hitting three of his first five shots from deep while making some great decisions off-the-bounce.Hopefully the big two have their sea legs back. One of those games where you're just happy to get a win without having your A+ stuff, I think. He made smart decisions out of that spot, hitting some quick trigger jumpers from midrange while sharing the wealth around the perimeter. Possessions that were bogging down and/or relying on the Sixers hitting contested threes in the first half turned into no-win situations for the Mavs, with Dallas often needing to fly wildly at Embiid near the elbow just to get within range to contest. But he slowly worked his way into this one, finding some extra juice to beat defenders off of the dribble in the second half.

Their only real saving grace early was, well, Joel Embiid. This was a game where even a novice could probably tell that the Sixers were getting their two offensive hubs back after a bit of time apart from one another. They've had some monster comebacks, obviously, but they haven't left themselves with that much to do most of the time. It's always "Well they didn't play well, but they're only down 5-10 points" when they have an off night.

Maybe this says as much about the Mavericks as it does about the Sixers, but even when Philly doesn't play well this season, it rarely feels like they let themselves get boxed into an impossible spot at halftime.The Sixers rallied from a tough start to beat the Mavericks 116-108, outlasting Dallas even without their best stuff.
