The Philadelphia Sixers lose to the Washington Wizards and it was embarrassing! Joel Embiid dropped 26 points and recorded 21 rebounds, but he had EIGHT costly turnovers. Ben Simmons had SEVEN!! This is totally unacceptable from our two guys. Tobias Harris was left out to dry by everyone else except maybe Matisse Thybulle. Harris dropped 33 points and he clearly is getting used to being more aggressive. This loss totally can't happen as their defense was abysmal. The Wizards scored 40 points in the second quarter! How?! Davis Bertans had over 20 points in the first half and Rui Hachimura had 27 in the game. What a joke!
The Philadelphia Flyers absolutely controlled this game against the Arizona Coyotes, but could not find the back of the net enough. Phil Kessel scored his first goal of the night a few minutes in on the powerplay. From there, it was mostly Flyers. They had a couple powerplay chances of their own in the second period and could not cash in. They came in waves in the third period as well, but with seven minutes to go, Arizona took a two-goal lead. Alain Vigneault pulled Brian Elliott early and Matt Niskanen scored to make it a one goal game, but after Kevin Hayes took a penalty, Phil Kessel scored his second of the night to end the game. Darcy Kuemper stood on his head!
