The Philadelphia 76ers Win Tenth Game, Tying Last Season Win Total in Less Than Half A Season

The Philadelphia 76ers patience may be wearing thin, but signs indicate they won’t need to be patient much longer. You see, the Philadelphia 76ers have just recorded their tenth win of the season, and have won three of their last four games.

The game was a Sunday afternoon matinee for the east coast, with a noon start on January 8th. While the team featured two struggling NBA teams, there is still a box office draw in every arena to see the play of Philadelphia 76ers All-Star-Hopeful rookie Joel Embiid play.

But the team has more on the line. The 2017 NBA Draft is not too far into the future.  Unfortunately for Nets fans, they will not enjoy their lottery pick. Instead, the Nets will pick from the Celtics first round slot, as well as gain the Celtics 2nd round pick for their troubles.

The win on the road is the fourth for the 76ers so far this year. In fact, if not for a semi-meltdown on the road in Boston, this discussion might be about their four game winning streak.  While no major feat, this tenth win is significant for the 76ers in many ways.
