The Sixers had put together a strong couple of performances, highlighted by an upset win against Dallas at the weekend. But without Tyrese Maxey on Tuesday, a closely fought game against the Nets ended in an unfortunate 112-107 loss, as the Sixers’ offense (and defense) faltered in the fourth quarter to let Brooklyn pull in front.
Now, to finish a back-to-back, the Sixers are returning home to Philadelphia to take on the Memphis Grizzlies, who’ve dealt with truly atrocious injury luck this season and have fallen way down to 13th place in the West at 21-41.
