The Kingdom Ballers and 76ers competed in the second game of the evening on 27 December 2016 following the game between the Celtics and Bulls. A win, for the Kingdom Ballers, would do more than add another number to the "win" column, it would give them a better understanding of how to matchup against championship caliber teams/players when they reach the playoffs. A win, for the 76ers, would add another number to the "wins" column and give them another regular season game to assess players and their roles. Really, this should be the ultimate for the Kingdom Ballers, as well.

The 76ers defeated the Kingdom Ballers 87 - 61 and gained another win, but they have some things to consider in pursuit of becoming the national champions. The statistics show a different game than the actual score. The Ballers led the 76ers in the areas of Rebounding (40 - 23) and Steals (5 - 1), but trailed the 76ers in the areas of Blocks (4 - 2) and Assists (15 - 10). Though the final scores depict the scoring disparity, they failed to show the efforts of Lamont Shuford (#11) as he battled the 76ers - almost single-handedly. He led the team with 27 points, 20 rebounds, 1 block, 3 assists, and 1 steal. Wason Davis (#21) contributed 15 points in the Ballers' hard-fought loss.

The 76ers were led by Tim Sanks (#23) with 27 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal. Three other 76ers scored in double figures: (#34) Willie Tennyson with 21 points, (#1) Tony Campbell with 16 points, and (#45) Lester Hood with 14 points. The 76ers led the entire game. They outscored the Kingdom Ballers 38 - 25 at the end of the first half and continued with a 49 - 36 run in the second half. It was clear that the 76ers have their groove back and is one of the teams to go through to win the Western Division and or National Old School Basketball League title.
