The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Milwaukee Bucks as the season continues to deteriorate for the Sixers. The Sixers are losing players to injury on what seems like every game and are on a five game losing streak. Meanwhile, the Bucks are trying to secure a playoff spot, but are on a three game losing streak.
The Sixers limped through their matchup with the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. They did lead by 2 points in the first quarter, so that's a positive. They lost 102-90 after trailing by as much as 17 points. Jimmy Butler had a triple double because why not. He had 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 steals.
The Bucks are just two games from 9th place in the East. They have 3 games left, so they can still miss the playoffs. Expect them to come out and pounce on the Sixers. They lost to the Indiana Pacers, who are actually the 8th place team, sitting one game behind the Bucks. Not only are the Bucks playing to make the playoffs, but it remains to be seen who they will face.
Yes, the Bucks lost 104-89. Giannis Antekounmpo led the Bucks with 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.
The Sixers are fighting for…pride. The fans and perhaps even management are looking at the TANK. The Bucks are trying to slip into the playoffs as their team continues to improve year after year.
