The Philadelphia 76ers (3 - 31) upset the Sacramento Kings (12 - 20) 111 - 105 on Wednesday night. In a battle of two bad teams, poor execution was on display. Most notably, the shooting was bad all - around. Both teams shot shy of 62 percent from the free - throw line and both teams shot right around 30 percent from long distance. The Sixers are the most turnover prone team in the NBA, but they dominated that battle here, committing 13 to the Kings 22. The pace was incredible in this game as well, as there were a combined 168 shots and 75 combined free - throws. The Sixers are a revived team as of late and it directly correlates with the addition of Ish Smith. They have been competitive in three - straight games and committing far less turnovers. That's what a veteran point guard will bring to a team and it's clear they made a good move here after numerous poor decisions in the past. He was Philly's best player tonight, as he tallied 18 points, nine assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the win. Nerlens Noel also had a good game, as he collected 20 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Jahlil Okafor also made his return here from a knee injury and put in a double - double off the bench in just 20 minutes of play. In addition, Jerami Grant was extremely active in this game, as he recorded a double - double and pitched in seven combined blocks and steals in the game. Philadelphia has a good chance to continue their recent good stretch against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. This sort of game is a microcosm of the Kings season. The talent discrepancy on paper in this game was truly unfair, yet this game was close throughout and they trailed for the entirety of the second half. The sloppy play really killed this team, as they shot well but committed 22 turnovers. DeMarcus Cousins was Sacramento's best player, as he totaled 21 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in the loss. Rajon Rondo also had a good game despite committing seven turnovers, as he amassed eight points, 14 assists and five rebounds. Marco Belinelli also had an impressive game off the bench, scoring a season - high 28 points. There were many instances throughout the game where the fans were booing their home team and that's a sad indication of where this franchise is right now. They'll host the Phoenix Suns in their next game on Saturday in a battle of disgruntled teams.
