Over the course of three trying, losing seasons, there can only be so many different kinds of losses. The 76ers have specialized in many different kinds of losses over the course of three tanking years.

With fewer than four minutes remaining, the Sixers trailed by 3. They finished down 14, 118-104, as the Rockets ended the game on a 13-1 run.
