Recent Performance Trends


The Philadelphia 76ers have shown a mix of resilience and areas for improvement over their last few games. With a record reflecting more losses than wins this season, the team's performance has been under scrutiny. In their most recent game against the Miami Heat, despite a valiant effort, they fell short with a score of 105-117. This loss highlighted both strengths such as their ability to draw fouls and weaknesses like field goal percentage which stood at only 43 percent.


Another notable performance was against the Minnesota Timberwolves where they scored 109 points but conceded 114. Here again, while there were positives like an impressive assists turnover ratio of 3.25 indicating smart ball handling, defensive lapses allowed too many points in paint by the opposition.
