Sixers destroy Wizards, win third straight game 146-101

Man, if only the Sixers could play the Washington Wizards every night. 

Last night at down at The Well (sick nickname), the Sixers won their third straight game, beating the Wiz 146-101 in a lopsided victory to improve to 15-7 on the season. 

The lowly Wizards, just 3-19 on the season, never stood a chance last night.

The Sixers jumped out to a 14-0 lead and led 75-46 at halftime. It marked the second time this season that the Sixers put up 75 points by halftime with the last performance happening against..the Washington Wizards on November 6th.

Mike Muscala Continues to Bless the Sixers 

Muscala, who will live forever in Sixers’ folklore after mounting a 22-point comeback victory for the Oklahoma City Thunder over the Miami Heat in the NBA bubble that included two clutch three pointers at the end of the game, basically landed Tyrese Maxey in Philadelphia.

Last night, Muscala missed a few free throws which gave Sixers fans a free 8-count of Chick-fil-A nuggets in their “Bricken for Chicken” promotion.
