The Washington Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, 146-101.
Both teams entered this contest as familiar foes, facing each other just five days prior in Washington. The Sixers narrowly won that game, 131-126.
The key difference between Monday’s game and the previous matchup was the absence of Wizards center Daniel Gafford, who missed Monday’s game with a right hip injury. That meant that Mike Muscala had to step up in the starting role and guard Joel Embiid. That matchup went as you would expect. Emiid dropped 34 points and 10 rebounds through three quarters of play, sitting the fourth quarter in this blowout win.
