On Saturday, March 4, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks on the road, 133-130. This is significant because the Sixers ended the Bucks' 16-game winning streak, which was the 3rd-longest streak in team history. Milwaukee was up by 18 in the third quarter but Philly scored 48 points in the 4th quarter to put the game away. James Harden scored 38 points and had 10 assists, while Joel Embiid scored 31 points and 10 assists. Embiid and Harden are the first teammates with 30 points and 10 assists in the same game since 1979. "Give ourselves a chance. That was the whole 4th quarter," Harden said following the game. "I feel like they had us that entire game, and then, that fourth quarter, we came out with some pop."
As a Sixers fan, I am ecstatic about this win, as this was a huge game for us against possibly the best team in the NBA. The first three quarters were frustrating, and then the 4th quarter changed the momentum of the game. Harden and Embiid came in huge for us, with big shots down the stretch. Overall, this game was a turning point in our season, I think.
The 76ers go to Indiana on Monday night to take on the Pacers, while the Bucks head to Washington, DC to play the Wizards.
