Watch: George's clutch jumper forces OT, keeps Sixers winless

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

Another year, another lengthy losing streak to start the season for the Philadelphia 76ers.

After Gerald Henderson gave the Sixers a 109-107 lead with a 3-pointer that left only six seconds on the clock, Paul George quickly responded with a clutch, game-tying bucket for Indiana.

A bricked Jahlil Okafor jumper later, and the game was in overtime, where the Pacers pulled away for a 122-115 victory. Philly drops to 0-7 with the loss, and will host Indiana on Friday in the second half of a home-and-home.

The awful start is nothing new for the Sixers, who matched an NBA record with an 0-18 start to last season, which followed an 0-17 start in 2014-15.
