Efficient offense and wins on the road. These are two things that have escaped the Philadelphia 76ers for a lot of the 2019-20 NBA season so far. This was the case yet again against the Indiana Pacers on Monday night, as after playing a quality first half, the Sixers fell 95-101 for their sixth straight road loss.
Some of the Sixers’ offensive struggles came down to the simple matter of missing shots. This has been a trend in general lately, and they made only 6 of their 33 three-point attempts against Indiana, including an ice-cold 2-of-16 on wide-open threes (where the closest defender is at least 6 feet away).
