The Sixers appeared to finally run out of energy, but Adem Bona helped turn the game around.
It seemed like the Sixers would lose their first game of the season, as they were playing on the second night of a back-to-back and facing a Washington Wizards team that couldn't miss, led by Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George.
Joel Embiid led the team with 25 points, but had reached his minutes restriction and was done for the night with seven minutes to go, leaving the Sixers trailing by nine.
Adem Bona refused to let the Sixers lose, changing the course of the game.
