The Sixers-Wizards clash was high-intensity and offense-driven, as both teams shot lights out at the Wells Fargo Center. As a collective unit, Philly shot 49-of-88 from the field, catapulting their conversion to a blazing 55.7% on the night. Their opponents were not far behind, making 42-of-84 from the floor and shooting an impressive 43.8% from beyond the arc as well.

The Sixers put up a long-range show as well, led by Lamet's eight treys as the team finished 17-of-33 from downtown, for a 51.5% conversion rate. Bradley Beal of the Wizards attempted nine from the distance but was able to make only four, finishing with a team-high total of 28 points.

On a night when Trevor Ariza was 0-of-5 from deep, Lamet's fireworks played a huge role in creating separation between the winners and losers. Both the teams surpassed their season averages in terms of shooting, giving us an entertaining and high-scoring duel.
