The Turning Point
The Sixers appeared to finally run out of energy, but then Adem Bona made a crucial impact.
It seemed like the Sixers would lose their first game of the season, but Adem Bona refused to let that happen. The team looked exhausted, playing on the second night of a back-to-back, and struggled against a Washington Wizards team that was shooting exceptionally well.
- Led by Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George, the Wizards were nearing a 60% field goal percentage for most of the night.
- The Sixers' offense was mainly driven by Joel Embiid, who scored 25 points but had reached his minutes restriction and was done for the night with seven minutes left in the game.
At that point, the Sixers were trailing by nine points, but Adem Bona's contribution changed the course of the game.
