Following their latest victory over a fellow Eastern Conference contender in Orlando, the Philadelphia 76ers have now racked up three straight wins to launch their campaign. As of writing, they are one of only four teams still parading an unblemished win-loss card alongside the reigning champions Oklahoma City Thunder, the upstart San Antonio Spurs, and the surprising Chicago Bulls.
Having said that, an argument could be made that the 76ers’ win streak has been the most impressive. After all, while all of those teams are missing key players themselves, Philly has more rotation players out, and their schedule has not exactly been a cakewalk, either.
