Welcome to Run It Back! In this weekly series, we will summarize the week overall and recap each Sixers’ game from the previous week (Sunday to Saturday, typically, but we’ll include Feb. 25’s game this week).
The Philadelphia 76ers returned from the All-Star break last week with a brutal stretch of Eastern Conference rivals ahead of them. Within four days time, the Sixers were to host the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks. That would be a tough stretch for any team, let alone one that is just trying to keep their heads above water while their star, Joel Embiid, is sidelined.
