The Sixers were able to grow a lead largely because they crushed Washington in the turnover battle. At one stage, the Sixers had 25 points off turnovers to the Wizards’ three. Caleb Martin (three blocks, one steal) and Oubre (two steals, two blocks) were both productive in the turnover-forcing department Wednesday.

The competition was not anything to write home about, but for these Sixers, a win is a win 10 times out of 10 -- even if it should have come more easily.

The Sixers’ matchup against the Wizards is one of two easier matchups before their schedule ramps up, and they need to make the most of it.
