Certainly, the Philadelphia 76ers could pull off an upset tonight in Oklahoma City. After all, David once slew Goliath.
Barring that, however, the Sixers will roll into the AT&T Center on Saturday night winless at 0-9. It wouldn’t be the first time Philadelphia arrived in San Antonio looking to ward off a losing streak.
Two seasons ago, the 76ers had lost 24 in a row heading into a date with the Spurs, who promptly made it 25 straight with a 113-91 decision. Three nights later, Philly matched an NBA record in Houston, losing their 26th straight, before snapping the skid in Detroit.
