The Numbers Crunch: Wizards beat 76ers for win #16

In a battle of the beat down and bedraggled, the Wizards outlasted the Philadelphia 76ers to secure their 16th win of the season.

Facing a team missing so many players due to injury that they gave 16 minutes to a player they’d signed to a 10-day contract earlier in the afternoon, Washington dominated the first quarter, ran their lead to as much as 18 in the third quarter, and then withstood a spirited Sixers comeback to escape with the win.

The Recitation of Woes

Both teams were missing good players due to injury. Out for Washington:

  • Saddiq Bey
  • Malcolm Brogdon
  • Bilal Coulibaly
  • Kyshawn George
  • Anthony Gill
  • Corey Kispert
  • Khris Middleton
  • Marcus Smart.
