The blown 18-point lead in the second half of Game 4 was bad enough. Then the Philadelphia 76ers outdid themselves in their Game 5 matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, blowing a 26-point lead in the second half, when they were still up by 10 points with just 4 minutes left. The Sixers had an all-time playoff collapse, ultimately losing 109-106 to send them down 3-2 in the series.
Now, in a series that they should have realistically won already, the Sixers find themselves facing potential elimination in Game 6 on Friday night. They have no choice but to rediscover their confidence and completely turn themselves around.
