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.

Don’t look now but the Sixers have swept consecutive back-to-backs and tied a season high with their fourth straight win over the Kings Wednesday.

Despite being down Joel Embiid, Paul George and others, the Sixers got their third straight win as Tyrese Maxey’s great night pushes them over Lakers.

The Philadelphia 76ers are walking away from this weekend back-to-back with two wins, defeating the Chicago Bulls Saturday night just 24 hours after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers.
