Check out the top five games from the action-packed, 52-win regular season for the Philadelphia 76ers.

While the Philadelphia 76ers’ 2017-18 season came to a rapid halt against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, let’s not forget how exciting the regular season was.

Sure, there is still a sour taste in our mouths from that 4-1 series loss to the Celtics, but there are still plenty of positives and good memories to reflect on after a roller-coaster regular season that ended on a high note with 16 straight wins, an NBA record.

Most NBA pundits were skeptical of the Sixers being able to reach 40 wins this season. In fact, some beat writers thought a 37-38 win season would have been a success for the franchise.

But Brett Brown and company went above and beyond, winning 52 games and grabbing the third seed in the Eastern Conference heading into the playoffs.

Let’s take a look back at the five best games from arguably the most exciting regular season this franchise has seen since the turn of the century.
