There’s something special happening in South Philly right now.
While the Eagles are scuffling, the Flyers are exceeding expectations but still rebuilding, and Phillies fans are on Yoshibobu Yamamoto watch, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and the Sixers are on quite the run.
With their win over the West-best Timberwolves, the Sixers have won seven of eight and improved to 19-8 — just two games back of the top-seeded Celtics and one behind the second-seeded Bucks in the East.
With Embiid utterly dominating, Maxey providing a perfect complement to the reigning MVP and assets stockpiled in the cupboard, the Sixers and their fans have plenty to dream on.
