The good vibes from the 8-2 start have started to fade. The Philadelphia 76ers have lost five in a row, with the latest defeat coming against the Utah Jazz.
The Sixers hung tough through the opening quarter, but the Jazz went on a 14-0 run to start the second and never allowed Philly to get back into the game.
It’s no surprise to see the Sixers struggling without their best player in Joel Embiid — who remains out of the lineup along with Mattise Thybulle due to the league’s health and safety protocols.
