This basketball game, 76ers and Thunder, oh boy, it’s somethin’. I tell ya, these young fellas runnin’ up and down, shootin’ that ball. This game, it was on November 25, 2023. You see these numbers, these player stats, they mean somethin’, I guess. They show who did what, who got the points, who helped out.
Player Stats, What They Mean
Now, this Embiid fella, for the 76ers, he’s a big one. He got lots of points, I heard someone say 25 points one time. He’s like the star, I reckon. He had 16 points in another game I saw. They say he gets rebounds too, 19 one time they said. Rebounds, that’s when you grab the ball after someone misses a shot. That’s important, I guess. This Embiid, he’s a good one. He even blocks shots, that means he stops the other team from scoring. Five times he did that, I heard.
This other team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, they got some good players too. I don’t know their names as much, but they run fast and jump high. This whole game is about gettin’ that ball in the hoop. More points, you win.
- Points – That’s how many times you get the ball in the basket.
- Rebounds – That’s grabbin’ the ball when someone misses.
- Blocks – That’s stoppin’ the other team from scorin’.
76ers vs Thunder, Who’s Better?
It looks like, this time, the 76ers, they won more. They got more points. One time they had 115 points and Thunder only had 96. That’s a big difference. But these games, they change all the time. Sometimes one team wins big, sometimes the other. It looks like the 76ers, they are a better team overall. But you never know in these games, anything can happen. I heard someone say the 76ers and Thunder played before. They keep track of who wins more, overall. That’s important too, I guess.
They got these things called box scores. It’s just a bunch of numbers, but it tells ya everythin’ that happened in the game. Who scored, who got rebounds, all that. There are even these shot charts. They show where the players were shootin’ from. It’s a lot to take in. You can even see every single play, they write it all down. They call it play-by-play. Too much for me, but some folks like to see all that.
These Young Fellas Play Hard
They got these quarters, four of ’em in a game. In the first quarter, I saw that the 76ers, they got ahead. They had a “scoring run” they called it. 16 points to 4, that’s what someone said. That means they were scorin’ a lot more than the Thunder. They were doin’ good, that’s for sure.
This basketball, it’s excitin’ to watch, I guess. All that runnin’ and jumpin’. These player stats, they tell a story, I suppose. Who’s doin’ good, who needs to do better. But it’s just a game, at the end of the day. But a fun one to watch, these 76ers and Thunder, they put on a good show. You can watch highlights. They show you the best parts of the game. Dunks and fancy shots, all that. I saw it on ESPN. I think they play in Oklahoma and Philadelphia. It’s far away from here. They got big stadiums there, I bet. Lots of people watchin’.
These players, they practice a lot, I reckon. Gotta be good to play in the NBA. That’s what they call it, the NBA. It’s the best players in the whole world. They make a lot of money, too, I hear. Playin’ a game and gettin’ rich, imagine that. I heard there was a player named James Harden, but he wasn’t there for some reason. I don’t know why, maybe he was sick.
It’s Just a Game, But a Fun One
All these numbers, these player stats, they’re important to some folks. But to me, it’s just about watchin’ the game. Seein’ who wins, seein’ those young fellas run and jump. It’s somethin’ to do. And these 76ers vs Thunder, they’re two good teams. Always a good game to watch. It’s better than watchin’ the crops grow, that’s for sure.
