The Philadelphia 76ers are on a devastating 26 game losing streak, tying the NBA record for most games lost in a row , which was previously recorded by the 2010-2011 Cleveland Cavaliers . Each one of these 26 games by the 76ers have been lost by an average of 17.1 points per game. This losing streak began at the trade deadline when Spencer Hawes, Evan Turner, and Lavoy Allen were traded away from this team. Some explanations for this disaster are the 76ers' offensive and defensive efficiency rank. Their offensive efficiency rank is dead last in the league , and their defense hasn't been much better. These two reasons have played a large role in their atrocious losing streak. Not to mention the loss of Spencer Hawes, who was averaging 13.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3 assists per game . Don't forget Evan Turner who was also adding 15.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. All these items stacked up on top of each other have really affected this team and pushed them into this horrible state.
