2023 Sixer of the Week Award Winners:
Joel Embiid - 4
James Harden - 1
After some up-and-down play a week ago, the Sixers looked re-focused heading into the All-Star Break. Philadelphia created separation in the second half and cruised to a big victory over Houston on Monday night. Sure, just the Rockets, but remember early December? Then, with the competition ramped up significantly for a nationally-televised game against Cleveland, the Sixers had arguably their best half of the season in stomping the Cavaliers by 25 points in the first 24 minutes Wednesday night. Sixers gonna Sixers, though, as they let Cleveland get back within single digits, but they held on for the six-point win.
