Last week, the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers tortured their fans by going to double-overtime.
On Thursday night, the Wizards made sure that the rematch would be over in regulation by gaining an early double-digit lead against the Sixers.
Joel Embiid‘s emergence – he scored 11 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in 14 minutes on Thursday – has been impressive, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Wizards’ flurry in the second half.
Washington beat the Sixers, 100-79.
Wall is back, for real
John Wall made his return to the Washington Wizards’ lineup last week against the New York Knicks and looked just as quick and explosive as he did before getting double-knee surgery in the off-season.
