The Sixers love narrowly avoiding the history books

On March 30th, the Sixers defeated Detroit for their first win in 27 attempts.

Had the Sixers lost that Saturday game to the Pistons, they would have broken the record for the longest losing streak in NBA history. Instead, with a win, the Sixers only tied the record for longest losing streak and thus are not all alone in bad NBA-team history books.

At the start of this season, the Sixers appeared to be well on their way to setting the NBA record for most consecutive losses to start a season. However, after starting 0-17, the Sixers took down Minnesota in the game that would have tied them for the most consecutive losses to start a season in NBA history. 

That's two seasons in a row that the Sixers have been able to narrowly avoid ending up on the wrong end of the NBA's history books. Pretty impressive. 

The best part about it is that in a few years when the Sixers have climbed back into contention, the won't hold the distinction of being historically terrible; just regularly bad.
