It’s been a bad season for the Philadelphia 76ers so far with 17 straight losses to begin the 2014-15 NBA season. Wednesday night saw the 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves do something that perfectly works for Philadelphia’s situation this season. The two teams lined up and began shooting at the wrong ends of the floor to start the game.
The officials finally figured it out and re-started the game from scratch. When all was said and done, the 76ers won the game 85-77 to improve to 1-17 on the season. Maybe the 76ers should look into turning that kind of wrong start into a regular thing.
Philadelphia would have tied the NBA record for most losses to start a season with another loss but was able to avoid that distinction with the win. Minnesota has to be wondering now about what they are doing when the Timberwolves lose to a team that didn’t have a single win on the season coming into the game. The two teams will play again on Jan. 30 in Philadelphia. Maybe the 76ers can make that their second win–and go the right direction in the process….
