Sixers beat Clippers...OK the preferred verb would be “eke,” they EKED it out, OK, happy?

I’m going to write this, but I’m not yet fully decompressed. That was a tough one. Have you ever read a book about economics or psychology and come across the principle of “loss aversion?” I think that one got me this evening. Once the Philadelphia 76ers put up a sizable lead over the Clippers (tonight no Kawhi Leonard, missing another game with the sore foot) I sort of...accepted that the Sixers were probably going to win (despite not having two starters in Tobias Harris or Seth Curry). And that made the idea of them losing far worse emotionally on me than if they never generated a big lead in the first place.
