Sixers’ coach Brett Brown thought his team put together a full-game effort on the road on Wednesday against the Pacers.
They're solid when they're attacking, playing free while taking care of the ball. The problem is that the Sixers (7-5) don't do it every game — at least not for an entire four quarters.
"This is the Holy Grail of it all," coach Brett Brown said. "When their spirit is where it is most times, that competitive energy, that togetherness as a team, they're a good basketball team."
On those nights, the Sixers coexist well despite being undermanned because of injuries and the forced lineups that come from pairing non-shooters Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons in the starting backcourt.
