50 wins for Sixers; home-court advantage in NBA playoffs first round clinched

The 76ers and their fans were kind of low key on the final Sunday of the regular season.

But after the Sixers nearly blew a 19-point, they settled down and went on to accomplish a major milestone. JJ Redick finished with 18 points, Ben Simmons had 16 and Robert Covington produced a double-double in a 109-97 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at Wells Fargo Center.

It was the 50th win of the season for the Sixers, a first for the franchise since 2000-01 and 17th time overall.

But the Sixers did more than reach single-season plateau.
