After the Sixers rough loss to the Nuggets Monday they've bounced back with two strong victories in a row, against the Wizards on Wednesday and then the Magic on Friday.
In both of those contests all three of the Big Three played. On Wednesday versus the Wizards, all three scored 20+ points in what was a dominant 21 point victory. On Friday, the competition was a bit stiffer against the Eastern Conference's sixth seeded Orlando Magic. It was a pretty close game but in the fourth quarter the Sixers just took over to secure the victory. Embiid, George, Barlow, and Edgecombe each grabbed nine rebounds!
I'm writing this post a bit late as the Sixers are already facing the Raptors as we speak. The Sixers will be facing the Raptors twice in a row up in Canada. These back to backs against the same team mid-season are always interesting. It could also be valuable experience since the Sixers could very well see the Raptors in the playoffs.
Raptors are 23-16 and #4 in the Eastern Conference, while the Sixers are 21-15 and #5 in the Eastern Conference!
It's only January but these two games are pretty important!
