Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Philadelphia 76ers

For whatever reason, it feels as though no one actually knows just how good the Philadelphia 76ers have been this season. They’re top 10 in both Offensive and Defensive efficiency (8th and 6th, respectfully) and at 33-17, are just 3 games back of the Boston Celtics for the best record in the Eastern Conference. A not-oft discussed aspect of their season: They’ve lost just 7 games since the beginning of December, with win streaks of both 8-games and 7-games coming at different times. This success is due largely in part to the stellar tandem play of MVP candidate Joel Embiid and former MVP James Harden, a tandem which has provided Philly with an identity on offense that they seem to have have lacked in years past.
