Kristaps Porzingis scored 24 points, Bradley Beal added 19 and the Washington Wizards ended Philadelphia’s eight-game winning streak with a 116-111 victory.
Now, they hope they're finally healthy enough to climb back into the playoff picture.
The Wizards withstood a 48-point effort by Joel Embiid and a 26-point, 13-assist performance by James Harden. Washington has rebounded from a 10-game losing streak by winning three of its last four, with victories over Phoenix, Sacramento and Philadelphia. The 76ers cut a 16-point deficit to one late in the game but couldn't overtake Washington. There were some ugly shot attempts by the Wizards without Beal on the floor, but they made enough plays defensively to hold on.
"The biggest issue for me tonight was the turnovers," Unseld said. "It's an area that we talked about pregame — we've been pretty good the last four to five games. They do a good job. They're handsy, they're physical."
