Embiid and Harden Lead Philadelphia 76ers to Eighth Straight Win
by privatebet.com - 2022/12/26
Joel Embiid and James Harden are proving to be the power duo making the Philadelphia 76ers shine this season. They were on top of their game in the Sixers’ latest face-off with the New York Knicks, leading their team to an epic eighth win in a row. The Sixers extended their winning streak to eight games on Sunday, but it was a tough game to call until the very last moment. Philadelphia owes their 119-112 victory to a triumphant comeback they made in the final quarter, but none of that would’ve been possible without Joel Embiid and James Harden. Embiid was the game’s top scorer with 35 points, and he reflected on their triumph by simply stating, “We just know how to play. We just know what to do.” Harden was right behind with 29 points and 13 assists, and he credited the team’s comeback in the final quarter for this epic win. “It was one of those games where you’ve just got to stick around. Like, stick around, stick around, and then fourth quarter you give yourself a chance,” said Harden. The Philadelphia 76ers will have a chance to continue their winning streak on Tuesday when they’re set to face the Washington Wizards.
