Game review
What happened
The 76ers beat the Bucks 127–116 at home. Joel Embiid led them with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Jaylen Brown added 27. For the Bucks, Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 21 points and 8 rebounds.
What the model got right
The model gave the 76ers a 78% chance at home, mainly because of their higher team-strength rating (93.6 to 87.8), and they won by 11. Recent form pointed the same way: the 76ers had been losing by 2.8 points a game, the Bucks losing by 9.7. LeBron James missed the game for the 76ers, as the preview expected.
What didn't work
Not much went against the model in this one. The Bucks won the rebounding battle 62–40 and still lost.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the team-strength rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 78%, about 2 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
