76ers went to sleep on the Magic up 18 and just let them get on a roll. They stopped playing defense, the starters didn't offer any resistance and now they're down 7 late in the 4th.

Ugly loss - ugh

What a ridiculously bad 2nd half.

Give up 42 in the 3rd and play dumb offensive ball in the 4th, scoring only 19 while wasting incredible amounts of time they didn't have passing the ball around the perimeter, turning it over, committing fouls and allowing offensive rebounds.

They gave this shit away with blatant carelessness. They celebrate being on top of the rankings by shitting the bed.

Rivers just doesn't respond quickly enough when this team gets sideways vs more athletic teams. He leaves his non-athletic players on the floor, he keeps playing Harrell and Niang while Reed and Thybulle don't get in for sustained minutes.
