The season can't end quickly enough for the Philadelphia 76ers. An injury-riddled year may have hit a new low Monday in a blowout loss at home to the Chicago Bulls, 142-110. The Sixers trailed by as many as 50 points in the game.
Even Stephen A. Smith would understand if Nick Nurse needed to relieve stress amid this turbulent 76ers season.
It makes sense for the Sixers to put themselves in the best position possible for the NBA Draft, but they could show a little more fight than they did Monday.
The Sixers trailed by as many as 50 points without Joel Embiid. “We just don’t have the habit of a champion or a playoff-contending team," said Paul George.
The 76ers fell in a massive blowout to the Chicago Bulls on Monday at the Wells Fargo Center. After at one point building up a ridiculous 50-point lead, the Bulls beat Philadelphia 142-110. It marked the 76ers’ eighth-straight loss, which is now the team’s longest losing streak since 2017.
