The Philadelphia 76ers were looking to end their 4-game road trip on the right note following a tough opener to the trip. After dropping the first game of the trip, they had won two in a row and were looking for a third against the Washington Wizards on Halloween night.
Despite missing Joel Embiid due to a non-COVID illness, the Sixers were able to win their third straight 118-111 and even their record to 4-4 on the young season. They went 3-1 on the road trip and now, they can return home and continue to build some more momentum following the slow start.
James Harden had a stellar night with 23 points, 17 assists, and seven rebounds, Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 28 points, Tobias Harris had 16, five rebounds, and four steals, PJ Tucker added 13 and five boards, and De’Anthony Melton had 16. Georges Niang had 12 points while Montrezl Harrell also added seven off the bench.
