Tobi Drops 35, Ben Triple Double in Victory & Flyers Beat Rangers!!

The Philadelphia Sixers beat the Detroit Pistons and have now won two games in a row. I was skeptical of this game because it was in between the Wizards and the big show down with the Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas Day. The Sixers delivered though. Tobias Harris scored 35 points and was a true leader. Ben Simmons recorded a triple double and had his career-high in assists with 17. Joel Embiid didn't have his best matchup against Andre Drummond as he only scored 20 points and was a -7 on the night. Without Matisse Thybulle available due to injury, Furkan Korkmaz stepped in and had 22 points off the bench. 
The Philadelphia Flyers explode late against the New York Rangers and win by a score of 5-1. The Wells Fargo Center was absolutely dynamite and it was the complete opposite of the Anaheim Ducks game where no one showed up. Of course the rivalry played a factor in that. Kevin Hayes scored two goals in this one and I am sure it was extra special as he faced his former squad. Remember, Alain Vigneault used to coach for the Rangers organization. Carter Hart was magnificent and made an obnoxious amount of big saves. Travis Sanhiem delivered for two goals and also recorded an assists. James Van Riemsdyk got on the score sheet a couple times as well. The team is clicking and flying right now, but a ton of their success is coming at home. They fly out west for a true test coming up this weekend.
