To quote Tobias Harris, the Sixers were handed a large serving of humble pie in Saturday’s loss to Indiana. After a week of hype built around the Sixers’ scrimmages, Philadelphia looked unbearably close to the discombobulated, often frustrating team we last saw in March. Tonight is a chance to right some wrongs and restore optimism.
Philadelphia will play neutral-court host to the San Antonio Spurs, who are without star big man LaMarcus Aldridge. The Spurs are 2-0 so far in the bubble, and in hot pursuit of a play-in tournament for the eighth seed out West.
