Philadelphia 76ers Must Adjust to ‘New Normal’
The Philadelphia 76ers have played winning basketball in a limited sample size, and they need to embrace change.
The 76ers are unbeaten, and Tyrese Maxey with rookie VJ Edgecombe are rewriting history with their electric backcourt performances.
"We said if we got the game to 10 points, we were going to find a way to win," Maxey said. "We got the game to 10. We found a way to win."
On Tuesday evening, the Philadelphia 76ers kept their winning ways going with a narrow overtime road victory over the Washington Wizards. The 76ers found themselves trailing by ten with under three minutes ago in this one, but another Herculean effort from Tyrese Maxey eventually got the game into overtime, where Philadelphia secured the win.
Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points with 10 assists, and the Philadelphia 76ers stormed back with Joel Embiid on the bench, beating the Washington Wizards 139-134 in overtime to remain unbeaten.
The Celtics led by 24 points in the second quarter on Friday and were still fortunate to leave Philadelphia with a win.
