In one of the most embarrassing losses of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers got blown out by the 15-win New Orleans Pelicans 126-111, with the Sixers being outscored by 23 points in the second half.

The Pelicans, who were playing on the second night of a back-to-back and without the services of starter Trey Murphy III, got 21 points from Zion Williamson, 23 off the bench from Jordan Poole, and 20 from Saddiq Bey in a balanced attack. New Orleans shot 17-34 from 3-point range on the night.

The Sixers have now dropped four games in a row as they try to navigate the absences of Joel Embiid and Paul George. Tyrese Maxey struggled in this one, shooting just 9-23 from the field and 2-11 from 3-point range. Kelly Oubre Jr added 25.

The Philadelphia 76ers dropped their third straight game, this one a 117-107 defeat to the Atlanta Hawks in their first game back after the All-Star break. The Sixers shot just 38% from the field in the loss, which dropped them to 30-25 on the season.

The Hawks were led by All-Star forward Jalen Johnson, who finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 27 points on 8-23 shooting, with VJ Edgecombe (20), Kelly Oubre Jr (17) and Quentin Grimes (14) chipping in as well.

The Sixers will hopefully get Joel Embiid back at some point during this weekend’s back-to-back, as Embiid missed the game with soreness in his shins.
