Here’s the Philadelphia Inquirer reporting on the 76ers, who are at least working hard and trying to play competitive basketball
Give the 76ers credit: They didn’t quit.
Never mind that their fourth-quarter comeback came against the Brooklyn Nets’ reserves. The fact that the Sixers made things competitive was a moral victory for a team in search of silver linings.
In the end, the Nets escaped with a 105-101 victory Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
“Teams know that we are not going to lay down,” Sixers power forward Thaddeus Young said. “We are going to continue to fight, try to keep pushing.
“. . . We just kept playing, kept playing, kept playing, and then it started to click for us.”
Brooklyn (42-34) had a commanding, 21-point lead with 8 minutes, 28 seconds left in the third quarter. Chipping away, the Sixers (17-60) pulled within 12 points heading into the fourth quarter.
