Philadelphia 76ers: 5 best moments from 2019-20 season

4. Shake’s stretch

On March 1 the Sixers played their first of a four game west coast trip. The first two games were at the Staples Center before moving up north to the Bay Area and Sacramento. Without Embiid and Simmons, the Sixers were looking like a team going in the wrong direction. Early in the game against the Clippers, Josh Richardson — who had finally started to show promise after a poor stretch — got knocked out of the game with a concussion. This was yet another blow to a team who had lost to Cleveland earlier that week. All hope looked lost — until Shake Milton appeared.

Milton, who had dropped 20 agains the Cavs, went off. If you didn’t know any better you’d think Milton was the reigning Finals MVP, not Kawhi Leonard, who Shake burned consistently. The Clippers tried to put Paul George on him and that did nothing either. He could not miss.

He came into the game hot, making eight consecutive three-point attempts. After nailing his first five attempts on March 1, Shake found himself in the NBA record books for the most consecutive three-point shots made.

Shake also put the league on notice. He scored 39 points and nearly carried the Sixers to a win against the Clippers — scorching All-NBA defenders along the way. Fans truly believe the Sixers have found something in the former SMU guard and Shake will be a big-time contributor for years to come.
