It’s apparently never too late to salvage the season for the Sixers. For the first time since Jan. 29, Philadelphia saw its basketball team win with a 123-98 route of the Detroit Pistons (26-47) at the Wells Fargo Center. It was the Sixers first win at home since Jan. 15 (18 games, one shy of a record as well). But the big news is that Philly (16-57) avoided setting a new record for NBA single season losing streaks, as that “honor” still goes to Cleveland’s 2010-11 squad.
Michael Carter-Williams and Thaddeus Young each scored 21 points for the 76ers.
