Playing against the team that traded him, Quentin Grimes starred as the Sixers were able to take down the equally shorthanded Mavs.

For the second straight game Jeff Dowtin set a career high in scoring but it wasn’t enough as the shorthanded Sixers fought before falling to the Pacers.

The Raptors’ injury list was plentiful and they sat two starters in the second half, but a hot shooting second quarter carried them to an undesired win vs. the Sixers.

It was a good night for the ping-pong balls but not to watch actual basketball outside of another strong Quentin Grimes’ outing.

In a game where both teams would’ve preferred to improve their lottery odds, the Sixers simply had more NBA talent on the floor than the lowly Jazz.

Whether the Sixers were trying to lose or not, they sure did so in a big way against a bad and shorthanded Bulls team.

The Sixers came out of the break relatively healthy but it didn’t matter as they got absolutely steamrolled on their home court by the defending champion Celtics.

Tyrese Maxey had his worst game of the season and Joel Embiid struggled down the stretch as the Sixers lost to a bad Raptors team at home.

Paul George didn’t make a strong return to the lineup as Tyrese Maxey’s seventh straight game with 30-plus points wasn’t enough in a loss to the Heat.

Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey had their two-man game humming, but the Sixers had to hold on for dear life to take down the shorthanded Mavericks.
