The Philadelphia 76ers defense is crumbling, leading to their eighth loss of the season. Despite being tied at halftime, they conceded a staggering fifty-one points in the second quarter, allowing eighty points in the paint, thirty-six off turnovers, and twenty-five in transition. The teams defensive philosophy, relying on fighting through screens and creating turnovers, has been ineffective due to lack of rim protection, ranking them nineteenth in the league for defensive rating. This ongoing defensive struggle suggests a deeper structural problem for the team.
