The Philadelphia 76ers are back on the floor Friday night, looking to get back in the winner’s circle. For the last couple of weeks, the Sixers have been scorching hot. With a seven-game homestand in South Philly, the Sixers fired off seven wins in a row.

Then when the Sixers hit the road for the first time in weeks to face the New York Knicks on Christmas Day, it seemed they were on pace to pick up their first defeat in weeks. Fortunately for them, that wasn’t the case.

The 76ers formed a fourth-quarter comeback against the Knicks. After picking up their eighth-straight win, the Sixers hit the road to take on the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. 

Similar to Sunday’s game against the Knicks, the Sixers trailed their opponent for the majority of the game. While they did tease a near comeback for the third-straight game, Philadelphia couldn’t find the same success. The Sixers fell short to the Wizards for the second time this season, picking up their first loss in nine games.

After getting the last three days off, the Sixers are set to take the floor once again on Friday night. They’ll face the New Orleans Pelicans for the first time this season.
