76ers tie team mark with 20th straight loss
Grizzlies ease past Philadelphia, who can set a franchise record on Monday
Philadelphia: The 76ers had a loss for the record book.
Mike Conley scored 19 points and Zach Randolph had 14 to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 103-77 win Saturday night, sending the 76ers to a franchise-tying 20th straight loss.
The Sixers can set the team mark with a loss on Monday night at Indiana.
The Sixers also lost 20 straight games from Jan. 9, 1973 to Feb. 11, 1973 in a 9-73 season. The NBA record for consecutive losses in a season is 26 set by the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers.
That mark just may be next: The Sixers (15-51) play only one team over the next six games with a losing record, the Knicks on Friday, and they are on a six-game winning streak.
Michael Carter-Williams led the Sixers with 23 points and Thaddeus Young had 20.
