76ers’ skid hits 24 games with 81-91 loss to Bulls
Print Edition
THE Philadelphia 76ers suffered their 24th straight loss as Joakim Noah finished with 20 points and Jimmy Butler scored 17 in the Chicago Bulls 91-81 victory on Saturday.
The Sixers moved ahead of the Vancouver Grizzlies (1995-96), Denver Nuggets (1997-98) and Charlotte Bobcats (2011-12) for the second-longest, single-season losing streak.
The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped 26 during the 2010-11 season, and Philadelphia would have to pull off an upset to avoid equaling that.
The next two games are at San Antonio and Houston. Drop them, and the Sixers could set the record at home against Detroit on March 29, particularly if they continue to shoot like this from the outside.
They missed their first 18 3-pointers before Byron Mullens made one early in the fourth and were 1 of 20 in the game.
New Orleans power forward Anthony Davis had 30 points, 11 rebounds and three steals as the Pelicans beat the Heat 105-95 for struggling Miami’s seventh loss in 11 games.
LeBron James twisted his right ankle while stepping on Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans’ foot during a drive to the hoop but remained in the game and finished with 25 points, nine assists and eight rebounds.
In Memphis, Tennessee, Mike Conley scored 21 points, and Zach Randolph added 18 points and 13 rebounds as the Grizzlies beat the Pacers 82-71.
The Houston Rockets led from the start to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-111. Elsewhere, the Charlotte Bobcats downed the Portland Trail Blazers 124-94, the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Detroit Pistons 112-103, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Golden State Warriors 99-90 and the Utah Jazz edged the Orlando Magic 89-88.
