It was just the regular season home opener, but it sure didn’t feel like it.
After being in front for most of the game, the Sixers let up an 11-1 run to close the game and lost to the Nets, 114-109, at the Wells Fargo Center Friday night. It felt eerily similar to how a few of the games in the Atlanta series ended a few months ago.
The Sixers are now 1-1 on the young season.
Ben Simmons, who reportedly informed his teammates ahead of shootaround that he was not yet “mentally ready” to play, remained out.
