76ers Achieve Rapid Fourth Victory Surpassing Last Year’s Performance
The Philadelphia 76ers achieved a significant milestone in the early part of the 2025-2026 NBA season, registering their fourth consecutive victory. This remarkable accomplishment comes just before Halloween, showcasing a notable improvement compared to last season, when the team secured its fourth win after Thanksgiving.
Historic Start to the Season
The 76ers began their season with a flawless 4-0 record, marking a strong turnaround from the previous year. Last season, they won their fourth game against the Detroit Pistons on November 30. In contrast, this year, they can potentially reach five wins before moving into November.
Key Players Shine
Joel Embiid’s return to the court has bolstered the team’s performance. Despite being limited to under 25 minutes for the third consecutive game, he managed to score 25 points on 17 shots. His efficient play is vital as the team looks to maintain its winning streak.
Adem Bona, stepping up as a backup, displayed outstanding defensive skills. In just 18 minutes, he recorded five blocks, five rebounds, and a crucial putback slam dunk that energized the Sixers’ bench during their comeback.
Thrilling Comeback Victory
In a tense matchup against the Washington Wizards, the 76ers found themselves trailing by double digits in the second half. However, they displayed remarkable resilience, forcing the game into overtime and ultimately securing a 139-134 victory.
Standout Performances
- Tyrese Maxey: Nearly achieved a 40-point outing, scoring 39 points and providing 10 assists in 47 minutes of play.
- Quentin Grimes: Contributed significantly off the bench with 23 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks.
The Sixers currently lead the Eastern Conference with the highest wins, alongside the Chicago Bulls, who hold a 3-0 record. Their strong start positions them as a formidable contender in the league, even in the absence of star player Paul George.
Looking Ahead
The team will have the next two days to rest before facing the Boston Celtics in the upcoming NBA Cup action. As they continue to build on their successful start, the 76ers aim to maintain their perfect record and solidify their status as legitimate Eastern Conference contenders.
