December Recap (Part 1):

Things begin to get serious this month as come the end of the year, we will all but be halfway through the regular season. The importance of maintaining our winning record is now overshadowed by our race to finish as high a seed as possible. December puts Toronto, Boston and Brooklyn on our plate, all 3 teams potentially contending with us in a tricky East.

vs Utah 133-112 (W)

We lost in Utah so things had to be put right when they arrived in Philly. The players knew that and Tobias Harris continued his rennaisance with a 35pt show, as he led us to a key win, taking our streak to 5.

@ Washington 81-114 (L)

The Wizards are alright yet we should have really extended our winning run, alas Bradley Beal and John Wall took control as in the end we lacked on offense, with Ben Simmons eerily quiet and our bench proving non existent.

vs Cleveland 103-96 (W)

Our 3rd soiree with the Cavs and tonight they would push us to our limit, leaving us needing a crazy 10-0 run to end the matchup to secure a 7pt win. We would ride the hot hand of Ben Simmons as he would score 8 of the 10, putting up 32 for the night, as the efforts of Sexton (28pts) would be for little.

vs Toronto 121-114 (W)

After stuffing the Raptors in Canada, the defending Champs' would finally put some bite into their game as we were once again pushed all the way at the Wells Fargo Center. This time we survived a late rally led by Lowry and Ibaka to hold onto a win, thanks in the main to our season high 41pt 1st quarter.

vs Denver 118-123 (L)

This looked close but it was more for the Nuggets riding their bench to finish the game. Why you ask? Well they put up 70 thru the opening quarters and led by 35 at the break as a stunned Philly crowd began to empty out. To our credit we turned things around but came up short as time expired.

@ Boston 104-111 (L)

Back to back defeats as a test of our credentials took a lick against the Celtics. Walker drove Boston forward and although Simmons sank 39pts and Embiid put up a 19/19 double-double, we would come away with a 'L' and a need to review our situation.

vs New Orleans 105-106 (L)

This one stings, we should be better at home and better against the Pelicans. Zion proved to be the star for our guests, but it was Ingram who would drain a game winning 3pt shot with just seconds remaining. We had a chance to win out, but with Simmons crowded out, Richardson threw up a brick and thats 3 straight losses.

@ Brooklyn 114-97 (W)

How we came out of this one ill never know. It should have been 4 defeats on the spin as the Nets started out hitting everything and anything they tried. But our game management turned things around and an almost perfect 4th quarter saw us chase the Nets off their own court as Simmons continues to gear up his bid for League MVP.

Really tough December. 4-4. Need to get some consistency in January. Like DeMarcus to the Spurs, maybe they can reignite his career! Any 76ers trade rumors....
