Sixers reach a new low with loss to woefully shorthanded Pelicans

It’s probably not a great sign if you can’t beat the one team who’s dealt with more injuries than you.

The Sixers lost the “who is having a more cursed season” battle 121-115 to the New Orleans Pelicans Friday night.

Tyrese Maxey shot it well from inside but struggled from deep, finishing with 30 points to lead Philadelphia. He shot 10-of-21 from the field and 2-of-9 from three.

Paul George got going in the second half, finishing with 25 points and 11 rebounds, shooting 10-of-22. Kelly Oubre Jr. finished with 21. CJ McCollum led all scorers with 38.
