The Philadelphia 76ers are still one loss away from matching the worst start in NBA history, but their ineptitude goes deeper than that. Friday's loss to the Houston Rockets was the team's 27th straight loss dating back to last season, an NBA record.
But it's not just basketball.
The loss surpassed the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their own 2013-14 record of 26 consecutive defeats, making it the longest losing streak in major U.S. professional sports history.
The 76ers visit the Memphis Grizzlies Sunday and could tie the 2009-10 New Jersey Nets for the worst start to a season (0-18).
Trust the process.
