After another thrilling comeback win, this time in overtime, the Philadelphia 76ers have now stringed together four consecutive wins to remain undefeated. Despite a lights-out shooting night from the hosts, the Washington Wizards, the visitors persevered in the final frame before imposing their will on both ends during the rubber period.
As expected, Tyrese Maxey once again led the way for the 76ers in the scoring end, finishing the night with a game-high 39 points to go along with 10 assists. Joel Embiid, who was sidelined during their previous game against Orlando for injury management, turned in 25 points in just 23 minutes while Quentin Grimes added 23 markers off the bench to lead the second unit.
