Two More

     The 76ers had lost to the the the Magic two days earlier, and wanted revenge. They wanted redemption from Orlando, after a pathetic loss. 

    They got just what they wanted. Embiid crashed the boards, with 11 rebounds, and Harden dished the assists, with 10. The 76ers hosted the Magic with vengeance in mind. Paolo Banchero, the player who caused all the issues for Philly the previous game, was shut down. He attempted six three pointers, and made exactly zero of them. Embiid dropped 28 points, and Harden had 26. They were able to seal a victory with a 105-104 final score. 

The Spurs were no match for Embiid

    And then the Sixers visited the Spurs at San Antonio and Joel Embiid feasted on San Antonio's weak defense. He had 33 points and hauled in 10 rebounds. Tyrese Maxey also scored 25 points and Harden had eight assists. Embiid added in two steals. And that was enough for the 137-125 win. 

    The 76ers did a good job redeeming themselves from a horrendous loss. However, as Embiid stated after the game, the Magic are a much better team than their records show. The Sixers are doing well but have a really tough schedule heading up, as they will face the Knicks, which aren't terrible and a really tough matchup against Boston. I want to have faith inthe 76ers, but that loss against Orlando, even though they redeemed themselves, doesn't encourage much faith. They are going to have to change they issues, especially concerning crumbling mid-game, if they want to actually be a threat the rest of the season.
