Possessed Pursuit: Reigniting Sixers' Dominance on the Court

As Coach Prime asked the Sixers during training camp, "How much do you want it?" Similar to Anthony Edwards' performance for the Timberwolves on Monday when they defeated the Celtics in overtime, one of the Sixers must play possessed—whether it's Embiid or Maxi. Whichever player takes on this role needs strong support from the second guy, just as the T Wolves had from Jaden McDaniels, and solid backing from two others, akin to the T Wolves' support from Rudy Gobert and Nas Reid on Monday.

In the Sixers' three wins in the second round last year, either Embiid, Harden, or both played possessed. Can Nick Nurse find someone or two to replicate that tonight?
