How do you win a game without playing defense? Shoot 58.5 percent from the field, get to the free throw line 38 times, and rack up a season-high 147 points. In the midst of a five games-in-seven nights road trip, the Sixers appear to have adopted the strategy of taking the defensive end of the court off to conserve energy. But you can’t really argue with the results! Philadelphia has now won three of four on the trip, with only tomorrow night’s back-to-back in Minnesota left to go. After what looked like a freefall a week ago, the Sixers are now a mere two games back of Boston for second in the East.
