Isaiah Thomas paced the Suns on Friday . He put up 23 points and eight rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench . They 'll continue their trip Saturday in Indiana against the Pacers . Philadelphia has lost 12 straight games to start the season . While that 's a deplorable situation to be in regardless of the situation , it 's in no way a surprise that the Sixers have n't been able to pull off a win . Tony Wroten started at shooting guard next to Michael Carter-Williams on Friday , an experiment the Sixers seemed to be opposed to coming into this season , and it 's a starting lineup that is unlikely to stick . K.J . McDaniels scored a career - high 17 points in 28 minutes , and the fact that he played so many minutes after commenting to the media that he is frustrated with his playing time indicates that the team did n't take much offense to his comments . The Sixers will have a legitmitate chance at their first win of the season Saturday when they go to New York to face the Knicks .


The Portland Trail Blazers ( 11 - 3 ) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers ( 0 - 14 ) 114 - 104 on Monday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia .

The Sixers big men also struggled with the Blazers ' bigs , as they were out - rebounded by a hefty 52 - 29 margin . This is the eigth straight victory for the Blazers , who now have the second best record in the Western Conference .

Brook Lopez was able to take advantage of Philadelphia 's lackluster interior defense by having a near double - double with 19 points ( 9 - 12 FG , 1 - 4 FT ) and seven rebounds . Besides that duo , there really was n't a standout performer , but their defense helped keep the 76ers to shooting only 40 percent from the floor . For the winless Philadelphia 76ers , Tony Wroten helped lead the team with 18 points ( 6 - 18 FG , 6 - 8 FT ) and 10 assists but committed eight turnovers . Henry Sims added 12 points ( 6 - 13 FG ) and nine rebounds . Rookie K.J . McDaniels continued his solid start to the season with 18 points ( 7 - 15 FG , 2 - 5 3PT , 2 - 2 FT ) and six rebounds .

The Memphis Grizzlies ( 19 - 4 ) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers ( 2 - 21 ) 120 - 115 in overtime on Saturday . Memphis was trailing the first three quarters , and coach Dave Joerger started extending his rotation to try and find a lineup willing to fight against the 76ers ' attack . The Grizzlies waited until the fourth quarter to take the Sixers seriously , but in the fourth , Memphis went on a run to win the quarter 41 - 29 to tie the game and force overtime .

Philadelphia has dropped three straight games , but the way the young team played against one of the league 's best defenses showed the promise of several of their prospects .

Starting center Tyler Zeller picked up two early fouls , limiting his action , but backup Kelly Olynyk filled in exceedingly well off the bench , putting up a game - high 30 points to go with nine rebounds and two blocks . Rajon Rondo played just 24 minutes , as coach Brad Stevens has turned away from Rondo at times in recent games , an interesting development when taken in the context of the Celtics ' roster on a given night , as it appears Stevens simply does n't see Rondo as capable of leading the team to a win against certain matchups . Philadelphia has dropped four straight games . They could n't get much to work offensively Monday . As a team , the Sixers shot 36 percent from the field and 14 percent from beyond the arc .

After a strong first half where the Cavaliers out - scored the Sixers 50 - 37 , the Sixers made a strong push in the second half and fought their way back to take a 93 - 92 lead with just under 10 seconds left in regulation after Tony Wroten converted on a layup . The Cavaliers then had a chance to take the lead with three seconds left on the clock , but Matthew Delavedova was unable to convert on a layup of his own and the Sixers then clinched with a pair of free throws to seal the deal . Philadelphia shot a superior 48 percent from the field , while Cleveland went just 39 percent from the floor . Along with making the go - ahead layup , Wroten also scored a team - high of 20 points ( 8 - 18 FG , 0 - 6 3Pt , 4 - 6 FT ) , while adding eight assists .

He took advantage of the start and posted 16 points ( 4 - 9 FG , 4 - 7 3Pt , 4 - 5 FT ) and six rebounds in 39 minutes . He 's had a solid couple of games in a row , combining for 39 points over his last two outings . Both K.J . McDaniels and Henry Sims had 12 points apiece . The Cavaliers were without superstars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving , but were still expected to come into Philadelphia and secure the victory . Despite the loss though , Kevin Love was one of the few bright spots . He had a monster double - double , recording 28 points ( 8 - 18 FG , 1 - 6 3Pt ) and 19 rebounds . He also got to the free throw line 13 times , converting on 11 of those attempts . He 's now averaging 28 points and 11 rebounds over his last three outings , as he 's had to take it on himself to increase production with a few key members of the starting lineup sidelined .

The Bucks out - shot the Sixers by a large margin in this one , going 54 percent from the field and 47 percent from the three - point line , while the Sixers went just 30 percent from the floor and a meager eight percent from beyond the arc . It was a sloppy game all - around though , as both teams turned the ball over more than 23 times . Despite shooting 18 less free throws , the Bucks still secured the 20 - point victory . The Bucks ' backcourt of Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton did the bulk of the damage in this one . Knight went 6 - for - 12 from the field and 4 - for - 7 from the three - point line to score 18 points , while also adding five assists . He 's had the hot hand lately and is averaging 21 points per game over his last five outings . Middleton on the other hand had a very efficient 18 points ( 7 - 9 FG , 2 - 2 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) of his own , but did it on the defensive side of the ball as well with five steals . The five steals were a season - high for Middleton . The Bucks did have a strong showing from their bench as well . O.J . Mayo recorded 15 points ( 6 - 11 FG , 2 - 6 3Pt , 1 - 2 FT ) and six assists , while Jarryd Bayless went a perfect 6 - for - 6 from the floor to score 12 points of his own . Bayless did a little bit of everything in this game , as he also chipped in five rebounds , four assists and two steals . The Sixers had a brutal showing offensively , marked by a combined 2 - for - 25 from the three - point line as a team . They were led in scoring by rookie guard K.J .

He 's now had two blocks in three out of his last four games , continuing to make an impact on the defensive side of the ball . Michael Carter-Williams , who normally is the leader of this team , really struggled with his shot , going 1 - for - 13 from the field and 0 - for - 4 from the three - point line to finish with five points . The Bucks ' next game will be at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday , while the Sixers will travel to Brooklyn to play the Nets on Friday .


The Philadelphia 76ers ( 6 - 29 ) defeated the Indiana Pacers ( 15 - 23 ) , 93 - 92 , in a back - and - forth affair Saturday . Facing a six - point deficit at halftime , the Sixers set themselves up for victory by outscoring the Pacers , 29 - 21 , in the third quarter , and Michael Carter-Williams brushed off a poor shooting night , driving for a layup with nine seconds remaining for the game winner . Putting his 6 - for - 17 performance from the field aside , he posted 15 points , nine assists , five rebounds , and one block . Tony Wroten nearly matched Carter-Williams off the bench , recording 20 points ( 6 - 17 FG , 2 - 5 3Pt , 6 - 7 FT ) , nine dimes , four rebounds , and two steals . Prior to the opening tip , coach Brett Brown exchanged Henry Sims for K.J . McDaniels in the starting five , and the latter responded with a modest 10 points , three rebounds , two blocks , and one assist in 33 minutes . The Sixers will next take the court Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves . Meanwhile , the Pacers ' bottom - tier offense upheld the standard set this season , hitting only 33 percent from the field , including a disastrous 4 - for - 18 from three - point range . David West led the way with 28 points and nine rebounds , but after putting his side ahead with a 12 - foot jumper with 18 seconds remaining , his evening ended with a missed 13 - footer as the final horn sounded . His frontcourt mate , Roy Hibbert , only garnered 19 minutes one night removed from logging 35 on a sprained ankle . The reduced run did n't afflict his output , though , as he accrued seven points , 13 rebounds , and two blocks . On the injury front , C.J . Miles left for good after suffering an eye abrasion with 42 seconds left in the first quarter , which allowed starting shooting guard Rodney Stuckey to pick up more minutes ( 35 ) than his typical 27 per game . As the Pacers return to Indiana for Tuesday 's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks , George Hill will attempt to return from a six - game absence due to a sore left groin .


The Atlanta Hawks ( 30 - 8 ) easily handled the Philadelphia 76ers ( 7 - 30 ) on Tuesday , 105 - 87 . Despite trotting out a less than optimum starting lineup , Atlanta cruised to an easy victory in Philadelphia . Al Horford led the way with his first career triple - double as he torched Philadelphia for 21 points , 10 rebounds , and ten assists . Over the course of his career , The Hawks are 46 - 14 when Horford has 20 points and 10 rebounds in a game . Atlanta rested three of its usual starters on Tuesday so that Jeff Teague , Paul Millsap , and DeMarre Carroll could be fresh for Wednesday 's game in Boston .

He was very efficient with his time and could be in line for more minutes going forward . The Sixers had all five starters reach double figures in this game , although their bench did n't find as much success and combined for just 19 points . Leading the team in scoring , Robert Covington finished with 21 points ( 7 - 15 FG , 4 - 10 3Pt , 3 - 3 FT ) , to go along with eight rebounds and three steals .

The Philadelphia 76ers ( 13 - 45 ) defeated the Washington Wizards ( 33 - 26 ) 89 - 81 on Friday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia . With both teams riding their respective five - game losing streak , each were looking to get things turned around with a victory on Friday . In a surprising effort , the Sixers were able to come out victorious and end their drought . While they did n't necessarily have the best game shooting the ball , finishing at 35 percent from the field and 36 percent from the three - point line , they still shot better than the Wizards , who finished at just 32 percent from the field and a meager 24 percent from beyond the arc .

He 's really started to get it going offensively , averaging 12 points per game over his last five .

For the Wizards , John Wall did the bulk of the damage despite the loss . He went off for 21 points ( 7 - 26 FG , 0 - 2 3Pt , 7 - 8 FT ) and 11 assists , notching his third double - double over his last four games . During that four game stretch , he 's averaged 13 points and 11 assists , but made just 1 - of - 10 from the three - point line over that same span , so it was n't all good for the guard . Another surprise performance came from Otto Porter , who went 8 - for - 19 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score 19 points as the starter at small forward . It was a new season - high for the forward , as he received extended playing time with Paul Pierce sitting due to a knee injury . It was his second solid showing in a row , as he 's combined for 32 points on 14 - of - 30 shooting from the floor . Coming off the bench , Ramon Sessions added 14 points ( 4 - 10 FG , 1 - 1 3Pt , 5 - 7 FT ) and four rebounds in 21 minutes . Considering he 's averaging just 5 points on the season , it was a nice surprise for the Wizards . Marcin Gortat chipped in with eight points ( 4 - 8 FG , 0 - 2 FT ) and 14 rebounds as well . The Sixers ' next game will be on the road against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday , while the Wizards will be at home against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday .

Despite an evenly played game , the Raptors forced the Sixers into 16 turnovers , while committing just 11 of their own , which may have made just enough of a difference to push the Raptors to a victory on the road in Philadelphia on Monday . Leading the Raptors was DeMar DeRozan , who was nearly unstoppable in this one . He went 12 - for - 24 from the field and 1 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 35 points , while also adding nine rebounds and five assists . DeRozan also forced his way to the free throw line , and converted on a perfect 10 - of - 10 attempts .

The only other Bull to reach double figures in points was Tony Snell , who recorded 10 points ( 2 - 9 FG , 1 - 4 3Pt , 5 - 7 FT ) and 10 rebounds in 45 minutes .

The points were a new season - high for the guard , as it marked just the fourth time he 's reached double - digits in points . Canaan , on the other hand , went 7 - for - 15 from the field and 4 - for - 8 from the three - point line for 20 points in 29 minutes off the bench , as his illness did n't seem to limit him much . While his season averages sit at 8 points and 2 rebounds per game , he 's received many more opportunities since joining the Sixers at the trade deadline . Over 10 games with the Sixers , he 's averaging 14 points and 4 assists .

Grant went 5 - for - 7 from the field to score 13 points , while also adding two steals and four blocked shots in 29 minutes . He had gone a combined 1 - for - 7 from the field over his last two games , so it was good to see him get things turned around .

Like Cousins , he 's played extremely well over his last five games , averaging 28 points during that span , while shooting over 40 percent in each of those matchups as well.The only other King in double figures was Derrick Williams , who came off the bench for 15 points ( 5 - 9 FG , 2 - 5 3Pt , 3 - 4 FT ) and three rebounds in 31 minutes .

The win is just Philadelphia 's third in 10 games , and they currently boast the third worst record in the NBA . It was a quick fall back to reality for the Pistons , as just a day after upsetting the Grizzlies and ending a 10 - game losing streak , they lost to one of the NBA 's worst teams . They were without Greg Monroe , who sat out his second consecutive game with a strained knee . Despite the loss , Detroit did have some strong performances .

He 's been the leading rebounder in every Los Angeles game dating back to Feb. 21 . His play has helped lead them to six straight victories , three of which were on the road . Austin Rivers has seen an increase in minutes recently , most likely because the Clippers have been on the winning end of a couple blowouts , but it never hurts to be the coach 's son . He played 24 minutes against Philadelphia and scored 13 points to go along with five rebounds and three assists . Nerlens Noel continued his streak of improved play as of late .

Up next , the Wizards will travel to Brooklyn Friday to play the Nets , while the 76ers will head to Chicago and go up against the Bulls on Saturday .


The Milwaukee Bucks ( 41 - 40 ) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers ( 18 - 63 ) 107 - 97 on Monday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia . The Bucks continued to gain some steam as the regular season winds down , notching their third straight victory and finishing the season sweep over the Sixers . They 've already locked up the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference standings , so this was another solid momentum builder for the playoffs that start this coming Saturday . The game did get somewhat chippy towards the end though , as both Jerryd Bayless and O.J . Mayo received technical fouls for the Bucks , while Jakaar Sampson picked one up for the Sixers . The Bucks were the superior shooters in this game , going 49 percent from the field and 44 percent from the three - point line , while the Sixers finished at 40 percent from the floor and just 21 percent from deep . Michael Carter-Williams had another strong showing , finishing with 30 points ( 11 - 17 FG , 8 - 13 FT ) , five rebounds , five assists and three steals . Over his last four games , he 's averaged 23 points , six assists and 3 steals , so the Bucks would love to see him stay this hot going into their playoff series with either the Toronto Raptors or Chicago Bulls . Giannis Antetokounmpo had a solid overall game as well , recording 12 points ( 3 - 9 FG , 6 - 10 FT ) , seven rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes .

The Sixers were led by the duo of Robert Covington and Hollis Thompson . Covington went 6 - for - 13 from the field , but just 1 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 25 points , while also adding seven rebounds and four blocked shots . It was n't all good for the forward though , as he turned the ball over a whopping 10 times . He 's played well over these final games other than the turnovers , averaging 24 points over his last three . Thompson , on the other hand , finished with 19 points ( 7 - 18 FG , 3 - 10 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) and four rebounds over 36 minutes . Thompson shot less than 40 percent from the field in three of his last four games coming into this one , so it was a step in the right direction Monday with his performance . Thomas Robinson and Jakaar Sampson finished in double figures off the bench . Robinson posted 12 points ( 4 - 8 FG , 4 - 6 FT ) and six rebounds , while Sampson had 10 points ( 3 - 8 FG , 0 - 4 3Pt , 4 - 4 FT ) and five rebounds .

With both teams having already been eliminated from the playoffs , this game was more about giving the young and inexperienced players a chance to make an impression on the coaching staff in hopes of coming back with their team next season in a bigger and better role . As a team , the Heat finished at 44 percent from the field and 39 percent from the three - point line , while the Sixers went 46 percent from the floor but just 18 percent from deep . The Heat rested nearly their whole team in this game , with just six players seeing the court and four players not coming out of the game even once . Michael Beasley was one of those players who played the full 48 minutes Wednesday as a starter . He went off for a game - high of 34 points ( 12 - 27 FG , 0 - 2 3Pt , 10 - 11 FT ) , to go along with 11 rebounds and eight assists in a near triple - double effort . They were season - highs across the board for Beasley , who had n't even broken the 20 - point mark yet this season . James Ennis also had a huge game , filling up the stat sheet like Beasley . Over 48 minutes , he recorded 17 points ( 7 - 20 FG , 2 - 7 3Pt , 1 - 2 FT ) , 12 rebounds and six assists , marking one of his best games of the season as well . Averaging just 5 points , 3 rebounds and 1 assists per game over the course of the season , this was a great finish for the forward . Both Zoran Dragic and Henry Walker were in the starting lineup as well and put up some points . Dragic finished with 22 points ( 9 - 17 FG , 3 - 7 3Pt , 1 - 2 FT ) and two steals , while Walker chipped in with 21 points ( 6 - 10 3Pt , 3 - 5 FT ) and four rebounds .

He recorded a team - high of 22 points ( 8 - 15 FG , 0 - 5 3Pt , 6 - 7 FT ) , while also adding five rebounds and six assists . Sampson has seen extended time here at the back end of the season , as he 's averaged 17 points and 6 rebounds over his last three games . Robert Covington really struggled with his shot , but got to the free throw line enough to score 19 points ( 4 - 14 FG , 2 - 9 3Pt , 9 - 10 FT ) , to go along with four rebounds and two blocked shots . After shooting over 40 percent from the field and scoring more than 20 points in his previous three games , this was somewhat of a let - down performance for Covington in the season finale . The Sixers also received a ton of production off their bench from the likes of Hollis Thompson and Thomas Robinson . Thompson finished with 19 points ( 8 - 15 FG , 3 - 7 3Pt ) and four assists , while Robinson ended with 13 points ( 5 - 7 FG , 3 - 3 FT ) and 10 rebounds . With both teams failing to make the playoffs , this marks the end of their respective seasons .

Milwaukee , which trailed by six entering the final period , took the lead on a pair of Giannis Antetokounmpo free throws with just under ten minutes remaining . The teams would trade baskets the rest of the way , and a Mike Conley free throw put Memphis up 92 - 90 with eight seconds to play . On the ensuing Bucks possession , Brandon Knight drove to the hoop , hit a layup and was fouled with just over a second remaining . Knight sunk the free throw , putting Milwaukee up one . After a flurry of timeouts , the Grizzlies inbounded to Courtney Lee , who missed an open look from the top of the key as time expired . The Bucks , who had 11 players see double - digit minutes , were led by 18 points from Antetokounmpo , who was at his best in the fourth quarter .
