Wednesday, April 25, 2018
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Going to work on this soggy and dreary Wednesday was a little easier for Sixers' fans who walked with a little pep in their step.[br /][br /]Tuesday night the Sixers won the series 4-1.[br /] [br /]Jol Embiid and Benn Simmons shined in front of a star-studded crowd.[br /][br /]And sitting courtside were comedian and Philly native Kevin Hart and rapper Meek Mill who was just released from prison hours before.[br /][br /]His first stop was Wells Fargo to cheer on the team in the playoff game up against the Miami Heat. They won 104-91.[br /][br /]Gerald Crooks of Wilmington said, "He was the good luck charm, him and Kevin Hart.[br /][br /]Kadijah McKee of North Philadelphia added, "That joint was love my city is really doing something it really is."[br /][br /]The Sixers have had a record-setting season. And are now in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time since 2012.[br /]
[br /]One fan said, "As long as they keep their head above ground they'll be good to go."[br /][br /]Through the ups and downs, loyal fans reminded themselves to trust the process.[br /][br /]"Happy I'm glad the Sixers made it. It's been a while since we've been here," said Crooks.[br /][br /]Though fans have no problem admitting, perhaps a Philly's Super Bowl and NCAA championship win this year is having some kind of effect on the players. Whatever it is, they'll take it.[br /][br /]Steve Herron of Cherry Hill said, "Absolutely, I think that they've really upped their game since that happened."[br /][br /]Grace Bonacci of South Philadelphia added, "I think so, I hope so."[br /]
