Sixers shot 27% for the game(27/100).......That has to be some kind of NBA record attempting 100 shots and scoring 78 points in regulation.......
This has happened six times over the past 18 seasons - or in .0264% of games played, lol
The Sixers are the first team in the last 18 seasons to shoot less than 28% in a game where a team attempted 100 or more field goals. Their 10.7% from three aided in this record.
Another good one from earlier this season that I wrote about - "In their earlier meeting this season, the Wolves won the game, despite shooting less than 40% from the field and giving up over 50% from the field to the Sixers. To highlight the rarity of this situation, consider that teams that shot over 50% from the field vs. a team that shot less than 40% from the field have won the game 99.2% of the time over the past ten seasons. The Wolves won by creating 22 more shot attempts than the Sixers. Taking 22 or more shot attempts than your opponent is a lot in the NBA, and has occurred in only 2% of all NBA games played over the past ten seasons."
They sure are a unique team this season, and while they have "shocked" in a couple spots, overall they have lived up to their non-hype, as they are now 20-32 ATS on the season, good for second to last in the league.
