Turnovers, turnovers and more turnovers. That’s a fitting description of this past Sunday night’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Philadelphia 76ers seemed to return to the oft-inconsistent form that dominated the front half of the season, putting together a huge first quarter before inevitably blowing that lead later on. The Sixers were up 20 points at one point in the first quarter, and even hung 43 points on the Bucks.
By halftime, they would stretch their (blown) lead back out to 12. It seemed like the Sixers were in the driver’s seat, which isn’t as dangerous an assumption now as it was in December.
