Philadelphia Wins Tenth Game 2015-2016 Season

The Philadelphia 76ers were on track to win just nine games of the 2015-2016 season. But it was the heroics of power forward Carl Landry’s 22 points against the New Orleans Pelicans which prevented the team from tying their own worst franchise record.

"“We didn’t want to be a part of that,” Landry said. “We tried to do whatever it took to lock in, in practice, in film sessions and just have a carryover to each and every game.”"

While the win was only the tenth win of the season, it was a particularly sweet victory. The team had lost top scorer Jahlil Okafor for the season, and the team did not have Joel Embiid for the entire season.

In fact, the team played only ten players in the night, and was led by the offensive outburst of Landry.  It would be the team’s final victory on the basketball court that season.
