PHILADELPHIA — Jaden Springer unzipped his warmup jacket with more than five minutes left on the clock, signifying that the 76ers’ starters had earned the rest of the night off.
The 76ers had raced out to a big first-half lead against the Sacramento Kings, then rode it to a 123-103 victory Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center in arguably their most impressive outing of the season so far.
The Sixers (15-12) dominated on both ends of the floor against Sacramento, which entered Tuesday with a 14-11 record and as one of the NBA’s surprise teams. They shot 51.2% from the floor, including 16-of-35 from three-point range, racked up 23 fast-break points, and totaled 34 assists. On the defensive end, they held the Kings to a 10-of-42 mark from three-point distance and forced 17 turnovers that led to 25 points.
