The Sixers are back to winning. After their recent seven-game win streak came to an end against the Hornets earlier this week, they turned things around with a comfortable 111-99 win against the Celtics on Friday night. Philly played some sharp defense, Joel Embiid had no trouble putting up 25 points with 13 rebounds and six assists, and Tyrese Maxey had one of the best shooting nights of his young career with 23 points and 5-of-7 shooting from three to help lead the way.
On Saturday, to finish off their back-to-back, the Sixers will be taking on the Heat, who’ve won four straight games and nine of their last 11.
