Despite an overtime loss after a bench collapse, the Philadelphia 76ers offered more reasons to be optimistic about the season restart in their final scrimmage
The Philadelphia 76ers wrapped up their final warm-up scrimmage, a 118-115 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, with a whimper — in an overtime period that neither team wanted to play, the deep benches emptied and Alec Burks and Antonius Cleveland traded clutch shots. However, the three quarters of real basketball gave Sixers fans a lot to be excited about: Tobias Harris looked brilliant offensively in his final few minutes of play, and the team’s defense continues to stifle opponents and force turnovers.
