Brett Brown recently completed his fourth season in charge of the Philadelphia 76ers. Here’s a look at the best single game team performances over a number of categories.
The Philadelphia 76ers jumped from 10 wins in 2015-16 to 28 wins this season, representing the biggest since-season increase in the history of the franchise. It also represented the completion of their fourth season under the guidance of head coach Brett Brown. Brown has had the unenviable job of working for a front office who, until this season, did not place winning games at the top of their priority list.
This was of course the Sam Hinkie era, where the Sixers won 19, 18 and 10 wins over Brown’s first three seasons in charge. It is a testament to not only Brown, but his staff and the players involved, that they have been able to get able to get over the hump this season, and finally earn some rewards for their hard work.
This season featured the Sixers’ first winning month under Brown’s tutelage, compiling a 10-5 record in January. A huge factor in this success was the emergence of rookie center Joel Embiid. Unfortunately, Embiid was restricted to just 31 games this season due to a season-ending knee injury, which came off the back of missing his first two seasons in the league due to recurring foot issues.
Considering the impact one player can have, it’s fascinating to think of what the future can hold for the Sixers once the team is able to bring in even further talent to assist Brown and his coaching staff.
But before that is possible, lets look back at the best single team performances of the past four seasons under Brown, and exactly how this season compared with the previous three.
