Everything — and somehow nothing — has changed between the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers.
With both teams seeing each other for the first time since their first round playoff bout this past spring, it was a complete 180 in the advanced box score. There was no excess of second chance points surrendered to Philly. There was no abominable rebounding differential. Brooklyn actually won that battle by a hair.
But none it mattered, as it ended the same way as Brooklyn’s past eight contests have vs the Sixers, with Philly celebrating a dub. Even if you discount the playoffs, Brooklyn has still lost five straight against the 76ers — now their longest active losing streak against any team in the league.
