As their point total implies, the Sixers were efficient from the floor, shooting 52.1 percent, including 42.4 percent from three-point range.

Bradley Beal paced the Wizards with 36 points and added eight rebounds, six assists and two steals. Isaiah Thomas followed with 20 points, while Troy Brown, Jr. compiled 19 points and five boards. Anzejs Pasecniks poured in 11 points, while Davis Bertans had nine points and nine rebounds.
