Welcome to Run It Back! In this weekly series, we will summarize the week overall and recap each Sixers’ game from the previous week (Sunday to Saturday).
Before the Eagles clinched a trip to the Super Bowl, the Sixers continued their win streak, tacking on two more victories into the win column after defeating the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday and the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, both in South Philadelphia. Tyrese Maxey continued to thrive in his new role as sixth man, and Joel Embiid put up a statement performance over the Denver Nuggets just days after it was announced that he would not be a starter for this year’s All-Star Game.
