The Philadelphia 76ers emerged with their third straight home victory tonight, taking down Eric Bledsoe and the Phoenix Suns by a score of 120-105.
The Philadelphia 76ers (3-10) continue to roll at home, with an excellent defensive performance led to the team to resounding win over the Phoenix Suns (4-10). Joel Embiid was questionable coming into the night, but made his presence felt early — largely discrediting any concerns over a sprained ankle he attained last game.
The team was shooting well from beyond the arc all night, and held a high octane Suns offense relatively quiet for the majority of the night. With the Sixers still not in contention, they have continued to still find routes towards optimism. Their 3-10 start is far better than anything we’ve seen in recent years, and the talent level is unquestionably higher than we’ve seen at any other point during “The Process.”
Here are some individual grades from tonight’s victory.
The Sixers will look to continue their hot streak at home against the Miami Heat on Monday, in another very winnable matchup in the Wells Fargo Center.
