Fans are clamoring for Nick Nurse’s job after shock collapse against Bulls
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in many games this season; in fact, entering theirs Friday night showdown against the Chicago Bullsthey were tied for the second most such games in the NBA with 20. The Bulls were also part of many close games and themselves in 19 in their contest against the 76ers, so it made sense that a matchup between the two would be go down the wire one more time.
However, there is something about the matchups against the Bulls that have the 76ers suffocating when crunch time comes. On Friday night, the 76ers couldn’t throw a pebble into the ocean late in the game, as Chicago went on a 10-0 run in the final 2:31 of the game that sparked featured jam from Jalen Smith to hand Philly a 109-102 loss.
The 76ers missed their final six attempts of the night, and couldn’t make up for it with a single defensive stop. The offensive rebounds they allowed Tre Jones in particular were the main killers for them on the night.
