76ers demolish Bucks for 16th straight victory
Yes, you read that correctly.
Donovan Mitchell scored 28 points, along with nine rebounds and eight assists for the Jazz. Amir’s performance is yet another example of bench players constantly stepping up when called upon.
While he’s not ready to return to the court, Embiid’s mouth was playoff ready. Saric suffered a cut lip and chipped tooth. Milwaukee covered as a 1-point underdog and the game finished with a total of 228 points, which was 19 points above the projected point total of 209 points.

Robert Covington has appeared in 282 games for the Sixers, the most of any player during the Brown era, which began in 2013. There was one terrible call against Simmons. Simmons pushed off after getting contacted as a result of the contact.

“We brought the city back to where it needs to be”, Butler said of the Timberwolves, who earned their first playoff berth in 14 years. This year’s team played hard, had some really cool moments and has some very young and talented players – Taurean Prince, John Collins, Dennis Schroder – but this isn’t the same product by far and that’s a shame. They have plenty of motivation as Cleveland is all but guaranteed to beat the Knicks tonight, meaning Philly must win its game in order to ensure its spot as the third seed.
