What a difference a game makes. After blowing a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter to the Charlotte Hornets Sunday night, the Philadelphia 76ers were staring down the barrel of a 1-8 start to the regular season, which would have put them solely in last place in the entire NBA. Instead, thanks largely to the efforts of precocious rookie Jared McCain, the Sixers pulled out the tight victory in overtime over Charlotte for their second win of the season. Now, should barely beating the rebuilding Hornets to move to 2-7 be cause for a huge celebration? No.
Can the Sixers earn their first winning streak of the season tonight against the Knicks?
