Looking at the Sixers' Slides
Seeing how the Sixers' 6-12 slide compares to their 3-13 start last season.
On the surface, the Sixers' recent 6-12 slide looks a lot like their 3-13 start to last season.
Statistically, it's not even close. Statistically, it looks more like they are 12-6 over their last 18 games, rather than 6-12.
Consider, over the last 18 games:
♦ The Sixers are outscoring their opponents 1639-1597.
♦ They are holding opponents to 41.6% shooting from the floor.
♦ They are also out-rebounding, out-assisting and out-stealing foes.

♦ Sixers opponents are committing 3.5 less fouls per game than the Sixers.
