The Philadelphia 76ers kept their winning ways going at home on Sunday night when they blew out the Washington Wizards, 112-93. It was a wire-to-wire victory for the Sixers, who led by as many as 25. They have won six of their last seven games.
Joel Embiid had another big night. He led Philadelphia with 34 points on 12-for-21 shooting and 10-for-12 from the line. The Wizards had no clue and no answer on how to stop or slow the big fella.
Along with another big Embiid game, James Harden had 18 points and 14 assists, including a highlight 3 in the fourth quarter. Tyrese Maxey had eight points, and Tobias Harris had 11. De’Anthony Melton had 10 points, six rebounds and four assists. Dewayne Dedmon made his Sixers debut and had four points in garbage time.
NBA Twitter gave its best reactions to the win for Harden, Embiid and the Sixers:
