The Philadelphia 76ers finally won last night and their tweets about it were great

What a feeling

What one simple win means to the NBA’s worst team

Only yesterday we very much enjoyed the stat that Rory McIlroy had as many wins since January 31 (4) as the lowly Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers won only four games over the final two-and-a-half months of last season and they had yet to win in the 2014-15 season.

That is, until last night, when they beat Minnesota 85-77 to claim their first win of the season. Okay, they aren’t going to be making a run for the play-offs or anything but the team’s official Twitter account was very happy indeed, posting a series of celebratory tweets.

And we’re suckers for a Seinfeld GIF. Congrats Sixers, now keep winning.
