PHILADELPHIA–The Philadelphia 76ers played host to the Washington Wizards on Monday looking to continue their current 2-game winning streak. They have been playing excellent basketball as of late and with the struggling Wizards paying a visit, one figured it would be more of the same.
The Sixers raced out to a quick 14-0 lead before the Wizards even blinked and Philadelphia led by as many as 48. Washington never seriously challenged and the Sixers walked away with an easy 146-101 victory for their third straight win. Joel Embiid was fantastic again and had 34 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists as his dominance over the Wizards continued. All 15 Sixers who played scored at least two points.
Tyrese Maxey added 24 points and six assists for the Sixers, Tobias Harris added 10 points, six assists, and four rebounds, and Patrick Beverley added 12 off the bench. Marcus Morris Sr. also had 12 points and Robert Covington had eight points and four rebounds.
