LONDON – Thursday was about resuming what’s called my “Game-day Workflow.”
When covering games at home, that involves heading to the 76ers’ morning shootaround, filing one or two afternoon stories and then covering that night’s game. On this occasion, the opponent was the Boston Celtics here at The 02 Arena.
The Sixers did what is starting to become a habit: blowing a big lead and losing the game. This time, they lost, 114-103, after leading by 22 points. However, there were plenty of head-scratching moments long before the Sixers began unraveling.
It actually started during Wednesday’s media availability when I witnessed a respected European reporter rocking a Sixers T-shirt.
