The Philadelphia 76ers had won five of six before their Wednesday night win over the New York Knicks.
But all five of those wins were nail-biters, none by more than six points, one by five, two-game winners and a one-point win besides those.
And then the Knicks came into town and the 76ers throttled them, 117-91.
Now another Eastern Conference team in complete shambles comes to town as the 76ers welcome the woeful Washington Wizards to Wells Fargo Center on Friday night at 7 p.m.
The Sixers are hoping that their defense once again carries them to a win, after they've had to rely on the offense so much during the recent spurt.
