Whew. The seemingly endless four game losing streak is over. Christmas day was eons ago. Back then Philadelphia sent a message to the world: “sure we haven’t been the best team in the east, but unlike some other teams we’re not putting pedal to the metal yet, we’re jogging to win a marathon, but when we do push, everyone including the MVP is in major trouble.” But maybe that narrative or those laurels were a little too comfy to rest on. After that, the Sixers no-showed against the Orlando Magic and a late game surge simply wasn’t enough to get the win.
