The 76ers are in position to turn their primary goal into a reality.
As the halfway point of their NBA season has arrived, the Sixers, at 21-20, have posted their best half-season mark since the 2011-12 campaign. And with a favorable schedule the rest of the way, there is no doubt that making the playoffs is an expected reality.
The Sixers had the eighth-best record in the Eastern Conference heading into Friday’s NBA matchups. They were a half-game behind the same Milwaukee Bucks squad they’ll be entertaining Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center for the seventh spot.
