Things looked to be heading in the right direction for a change for the Philadelphia 76ers. They swept a back-to-back over the weekend, earning a shocking victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers and emerging victorious in what looked like a schedule loss against the Chicago Bulls. The Sixers now sit just 1.5 games back of Chicago for the final Play-In spot. The Bulls have one hand firmly on their tanking ripcord ready to pull, shopping both Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine in earnest. So despite everything that has happened over the first half of the season (and there has been a lot), the Sixers’ postseason aspirations remain fully possible.
