The Philadelphia 76ers had perhaps their worst collapse of the regular season against the Milwaukee Bucks. While early in mid-November, they allowed the defending champion Golden State Warriors to come back from a 22-point halftime deficit, they blew two separate 19-point leads to the Bucks, thanks to the 26 turnovers committed throughout the game.

Rookie forward Ben Simmons expressed his frustration after the 118-110 loss.

“We just kept turning the ball over. Offensively, we didn’t make any plays, didn’t execute,” Simmons said, according to Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Head coach Brett Brown was even more upset at his team's performance, claiming a change of mindset needs to happen with only 20 games left to play in the season.

“Whatever we do we have to get done as a team. We have to have violent cuts, we have to have adult screens and we have to cut to mean it,” said Brown post-game. “Joel (Embiid) is the only real like ‘let’s-give-it-to-Joel-and-let-him-go-to-work' type of guy. Other than that, that’s not who we are.”

The Sixers have now lost three of their last five after going on a seven-game win streak, which has landed them in sixth place, a full game behind the Washington Wizards.

If they hope to crack a good playoff seed, they'll have to do so by fine-tuning themselves mentally and not allowing these mistakes to take place, especially against another team just as hungry for a playoff seed as they are.

Philly will have a chance to bounce back against the Charlotte Hornets on the road on Tuesday night.
