The Philadelphia 76ers are out to sweep the Washington Wizards in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. As they gear up for Game 4- in Washington DC- it felt like a Sixers home game, which could very much benefit Philly and Joel Embiid. Seriously, where are all the fans at? The video below is a little hard to believe, especially considering it's the NBA Playoffs.

Game 1 was just a seven-point victory for the Sixers. However, after that, it has been a blowout. After Russell Westbrook went down, the Wizards' energy dipped and the score showed it. The Sixers won Game 2 by 25 and Game 3 by 29 and are aiming for a series sweep after earning the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
Joel Embiid, an MVP candidate, has been too much for the Wizards to handle. The duo of Tobias Harris and Ben Simmons has also given them fits, and the injury to Russ has all but derailed the Wizards season.

It's extremely surprising that fans haven't shown up for what could be the final game of the Wizards season. For the Sixers, this is good news, especially considering their fans traveled to cheer on their squad.
Advantage, Philly.
