The Sixers reunited their Big 3 in Tuesday night’s win over the Lakers. Now, though, they’re about to find out what life is like with a Big 5, and I don’t mean they’re catching a Villanova-Penn game at the Palestra.
Thanks to a whopping 11-game winning streak, the Golden State Warriors have propelled themselves back to the top of the Western Conference standings. During the last five games of that surge, the Warriors have had DeMarcus Cousins at their disposal. Coming off an achilles injury that prematurely ended his stint with the Pelicans last year, the four-time All-Star has looked as healthy, and fit in as seamlessly, as head coach Steve Kerr and company could have hoped.
