By Simon Smith
126 points vs. Orlando Magic, Dec. 12, 2013
This game represented the second double-overtime game in Brown’s first 19 games at the helm. Michael Carter-Williams kept up his incredible debut-season form, posting 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Sixers to their 126-125 win.
Not only has Carter-Williams since departed, but not one player from this riveting contest remains on the Sixers’ roster. Other notable performances were Thaddeus Young with 25 points and 12 rebounds, and Evan Turner with 24 points, six rebounds and five assists.

One a positive note, one game from this season made the list, an excellent road win against the Nuggets. Leading the way for the Sixers were Ersan Ilyasova with 23 points and 12 rebounds, and Joel Embiid with 23 points, six rebounds and five assists.
