The Philadelphia 76ers have a lot of expectations for the 2019-20 season as they continue on their quest to win an NBA championship. Thursday night was a disappointing 119-113 loss to the Washington Wizards as they committed 21 turnovers and they could not figure out how to stop the explosive Wizards.

Tobias Harris led Philadelphia with 33 points and seven rebounds, but it was not enough to help the Sixers get it done. The frustration was apparent with Harris afterward despite Philadelphia winning eight of their past nine games going into the night, he felt like the Sixers should do more.

“Losing. We should not be losing,” he said. “There is a high expectations for our group, for our team. There are expectations to win on the road, at home. Just come out every night and play to win and to win a game. Tonight, big frustration just on how we defended because it was like they were just picking and choosing whatever they wanted, so that is the big frustration.”

The Sixers had built a lead of 11 points in the first quarter, but they then allowed Washington to score 40 points in the second quarter and it was too much to handle in the loss. Did the team let their foot off the gas?

“Yes. We definitely did,” said Harris. “That is something that we have to as a team get better at. We have to get better at when we get a lead in the game, of being able to stick with what is working, and maybe push that lead to go to the next level. It is something that we have to get better at.”

Philadelphia now has a day off before getting back at it on Saturday to face the Cleveland Cavaliers.
