With 12 of 17 games on the road, this was supposed to be the month from hell for the Philadelphia 76ers. But a strange thing happened: they started winning. And winning. And winning some more.
On Feb. 27, Philadelphia shooting guard James Harden launched a 3-point shot from the top of the arc with less than two seconds remaining in a game against the Miami Heat. Harden’s shot bounced off the rim, the buzzer sounded and the 76ers shuffled off the court with a 119-96 home loss — their second near-miss at Wells Fargo Center in 48 hours after a 110-107 loss to Boston.
The next night in Dallas, Harden, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combined for 91 points. However, the 76ers couldn’t overcome a pair of 40-point performances by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in a 133-126 loss.The 76ers went on to win the final three games of their road trip, beginning with a 133-130 win in Milwaukee that halted the Bucks’ NBA-best 16-game winning streak.
To put it in real-money terms, a bettor who wagered $110 on all 70 of the Sixers’ games this season would be up $1,120.To absolutely nobody’s surprise, Embiid has been Philly’s main man in March.
