MANILA, Philippines – Furkan Korkmaz saved the day for the Philadelphia 76ers with the game-winner in their 129-128 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, November 2 (November 3, Philippine time).
Off a Ben Simmons assist, Korkmaz drained a corner triple with a fourth of a second left as the Sixers stayed unbeaten even without Joel Embiid, who was suspended by the NBA for his fight with Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Trail Blazers were primed to hand their foes their first loss of the season after Anfernee Simmons cashed in a three-pointer from a Damian Lillard dime, but Korkmaz came to the rescue for the 5-0 Sixers.
