No wonder Sixers fans were disgruntled over the recent James Harden saga. Furthermore, with the events that were happening in the last few months, it is obvious for them to be displeased. Harden was finally let go by the Philadelphia 76ers a couple of days back. He went straight to his dream destination, the Los Angeles Clippers. The ten-time All-Star did not participate in the team’s practice and decided to sit out. He was also not a part of the previous games played by the Sixers this season.

Amidst all this, the Sixers registered their third win this season, which took them to the second position in the Eastern Conference. How did the fans react?

The fans seem happy to have let go of the superstar James Harden.

The Sixers’ Praiseworthy Spell

The Sixers are exhibiting commendable display over the past few matches. The ‘Tsunami Papi’ being the main source of attraction, is doing a great job. The shooting guard/small forward scored 23 points, along with his 5 rebounds. Other than that, Tobias Harris, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey helped the Sixers sail.

With only the Celtics above them, the Sixers are in a massive winning spree. They did not get hyped enough for not having that much anticipated roster. But, as it seems, they can turn the tables big time. Before this match, they won against the Raptors in their home game, and against the Trail Blazers. They only lost to the Milwaukee Bucks, that too by a marginal one point, in the dying minutes.
