Philadelphia 76ers set professional record for consecutive losses

The NBA team lost to the Houston Rockets 116-114 on Friday, marking their 27th consecutive loss in two seasons.

Sports Illustrated expressed a similar tune and added that if the 76ers lose to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday and with the Los Angeles Lakers in their home court on Tuesday, they will obviously fall to 0-19, giving the team the worst start of the season in NBA History.

Although they set an National Basketball Association record with 27 straight losses, the Philadelphia 76ers has nothing to be ashamed of. Harden and Howard worked splendidly in concert, with Harden scoring 16 points in the quarter to stretch a five-point halftime lead to 76-62 with a trey with 6:36 left in the period. Dwight Howard turned in his sixth double-double of the season, with 14 points and 13 rebounds.

I’m scared to death of this Rockets team and we’ve made some nice cash fading them as of late.

The 76ers lost their final 10 games last season to finish 18-64 and have now dropped their first 17 games this season. Covington established a new career-high with 28 points, and matched his personal-best with six three-pointers. Monta Ellis had 14 points, and George Hill finished with 10 assists.

The reigning NBA MVP made a season-high nine of his 16 tries from long range in his 14th career 40-point game, five this season.

Moranor said that because of his current team-friendly contract, Williams could be shipped out of the squad before the trade deadline, along with power forward Kyle O’Quinn, “if the Knicks need improvements elsewhere”.

Thunder 103, Pistons 87: Kevin Durant had 34 points and 13 rebounds to help Oklahoma City to its fourth straight win.

One offensive blitz in the third quarter enabled the Rockets to seize control, albeit temporarily. Rajon Rondo scored 16 points and assisted 16 in a losing cause.

That the Sixers also connected on their first three three-point attempts of the fourth quarter didn’t hurt either.

Magic 114, Bucks 90: Elfrid Payton had 22 points and 10 assists, leading Orlando to the win.

So to that end, he chose to start scorer Isaiah Canaan at point guard against Houston.

Spurs 91, Nuggets 80: Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points and San Antonio beat Denver for its fourth win in a row. We’re trying to figure out two bigs in Nerlens (Noel) and Jahlil (Okafor), trying to figure out who’s the point guard.
