Don't know what triggered it but this light that flipped for Mikel has been a revelation.

7 game stretch averaging 20 points per game.

Might be that he knew he needed to step up with Payne and Shamet out, hopefully he keeps this mindset when they return.

Him as a consistent scorer, with his defense, would be a top 20 player in the league.

Great W. CP3 mightve been tired tonight. Once again leads the team in minutes.

It's just a guess but I'm sticking with the dislocated finger explanation. He was playing pretty well until that happened (Dec 3rd) and the internet says it take 4 to 6 weeks of rest for it to heal. About 6 weeks after the injury, he's back to being the up and coming star many of us believed him to be. So, coincidence? I think not!

Jumped on the Suns when the 76ers went on that big run. Suns won me close to $500 in two days
Wow, that’s a pretty good night. Ayton screwed me not getting 8 boards.

Gutsy win, on a tail end of a back to back on the road against one of the best teams in the east with rest advantage on their side. Embiid got his, but I liked the Suns' gameplan and even though there were a couple of easy ones, I thought DA played a solid game. Didn't give up too many FTs, and was able to mostly stay 1 on 1 against him so that the team could stay home on defense.

Early in the game the Suns gave Embiid too much respect including Ayton.
