There’s a sense that January came early this season.
The vibe around the 76ers is reminiscent of the excitement they provided in January last season. No one is expecting them to duplicate their winning 10 of 15 games in that month. But you can’t deny that the electricity provided by Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Co. is similar to 10 months ago.
On Wednesday, the Sixers showed will to win, extending their winning streak to three games with a 119-019 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. The sold-out crowd of 20,549 witnessed the team’s first home win of the season.
