The Philadelphia 76ers avoided a horrible win on Sunday night, losing the Cleveland Cavaliers by one point. As they continue to stay in contention for a top-5 pick, the Sixers need every loss from here on out and beating the Cavaliers would’ve been nice on paper, but senseless all in all.
Although, the Sixers have an even bigger game against the Lakers tonight. It’s not only important in order to gain another loss, but also because the more games the Lakers win, the higher the probability that they’ll be able to steal their first-round pick, which is only top-5 protected.
