Do the Sixers have a realistic shot of catching the Celtics and overtaking the second seed in the Eastern Conference? Lastly, they lost to the Cavaliers when they held a 15-point lead and Grant Williams had 2 free throws at the end of regulation, only needing to make one, and he missed them both. They followed that up by blowing a 14-point lead to the Knicks in a double-overtime thriller. They blew a 28-point lead at home to the Brooklyn Nets. The Celtics lost three games in a row where they had leads of 14 or more points. The conversation shifts to the Sixers’ win streak combined with the Boston Celtics’ losing streak. Maxey added 27 points as Harden took the night off and Tucker and Harris both returned and helped the Sixers get their third straight win. This has become routine out of the Sixers’ big man, but it needs to be recognized every time because what he is doing on the offensive end this season is remarkable. This one was never really in doubt and Embiid went off again, as expected, for 39 points in only 28 minutes. In the Timberwolves game, the Philadelphia 76ers handily won 117-94. It is also worth noting the Sixers were down two starters as PJ Tucker and Tobias Harris did not play. For the Indiana Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton had himself a day scoring 39 points and notching 16 assists. Joel Embiid scored 42 points and James Harden added 20(!) assists along with 14 points and 9 rebounds. The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Pacers 147-143 in an offensive showcase that the stars showed out for. The Sixer Sense Podcast returns on the heels of back-to-back road wins over the Indiana Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
