THE Philadelphia 76ers beat Los Angeles Clippers despite not having the reigning MVP of the league. The Sixers showed their courage and defeated the star-studded team in the Western Conference, with a final score of 121-107. With their recent victory, Philly improved their record to 38-32.
Fans didn’t expect the Los Angeles team to struggle against James Harden’s former team. Aside from the fact that Joel Embiid has been injured for some time, the Sixers don’t compare on paper to the West Coast team that has four All-Stars.
But the Sixers proved to be a problem, as Tyrese Maxey led the team in scoring with 24 points and not having a single turnover. For the opposing team, their stars did not take over the game, which cost them the victory. Kawhi Leonard was the only star to score 20 points for the team.

After fans saw how the Sixers went about their business against the Los Angeles team, they couldn’t help but roast the team with potentially four future Hall of Famers. Here are some of the best fan reactions.
“The Clippers are eliminated in the first round of the playoffs”
A few fans criticized the team’s Big 3 for their performance.
The Leonard-led team will have a chance to redeem themselves after the Sixers visit the Sacramento Kings on Monday. They will meet again on Wednesday and will have the chance to even the season series.

James Harden had a little fun during the Clippers-Sixers game
Although the Clippers lost the game against the Sixers, that doesn’t mean they didn’t enjoy playing. During the match, Harden messed around with his former teammate while boxing for the ball.
Waiting for a shot to fall, Maxey worked hard down low to win the 10-time All-Star. Considering how outmatched he is by the young star, Harden played it cool by putting the point guard in a headlock. The officials saw the footage but did not commit any foul on the two former teammates.
Maxey raised his hands and just smiled after the play. The headbutt was not aggressive, but purely playful.
Maxey and Harden played together when the veteran star guard played for the Sixers. The duo was deadly as both could score at will and at an elite level. Plus, they had Embiid on the team, who is one of the best players in the league.
The trio had a lot of potential, but that ended quickly when Harden requested a trade early in the season.
