Sixers rookies Isaiah Joe, Paul Reed have big games, Blue Coats advance
The Philadelphia 76ers are beginning to come back from the All-Star break and get set to begin the second half of the season on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls, but their G League team is continuing on in the playoffs.
The Delaware Blue Coats had another playoff game on Tuesday as they took on the Raptors 905 squad in the semifinals of the single-elimination playoffs and they received another big game from Philadelphia’s rookie Isaiah Joe.
Joe, who was placed on this G League assignment just before the All-Star break, had 24 points and five rebounds in a 127-100 win to advance to the G League championship game on Thursday. He shot 7-for-17 from the floor and he shot 5-for-14 from deep.
Paul Reed also had a big game with 26 points and nine rebounds with three blocks and two steals. He shot 10-for-18 from the floor and showed off the athleticism and the energy that the team is a big fan of.
