OKLAHOMA CITY – Here are my key takeaways and “best” and “worst” awards from the 76ers’ 122-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Five observations
— Sixers coach Brett Brown believes in his team’s uptempo style of play. The only problem with it Sunday was the Thunder play the same way and are better at it. As a result, it wasn’t surprising that OKC was able to break the game open late.
— Robert Covington and Dario Saric were both at disadvantages in this up-and-down contest.
