Daily News | Sixers work on moving the ball and picking up the pace
WASHINGTON — The 76ers will tell you that they’re winning games but that they have a long way to go.
“So as good as we talk about pace and we talk about ball movement and all that, we’ve got to know what we’re trying to accomplish possession by possession. And I think we are trying to get there.” “I saw something that said we are like the slowest team in the last six seasons,” Tobias Harris said. “So we may have a few spurts here and there in the game, probably mainly when Tyrese [Maxey] has the ball because he’s one of the fastest players in the league.”
The Sixers ranked 25th in the league in scoring at 109.3 points per game entering Sunday. They also ranked last in shot attempts but tied for eighth in field-goal percentage . So the Sixers are making shots. They’re just not taking enough of them because of their slow pace.
