Philadelphia 76ers Tie NBA Record for Futility

In a heartbreaking record of events, the Philadelphia 76ers sport the same longest losing streak as the other hall-of-fame team, suffering their 26th consecutive loss. For that sad fact, the Warriors had their time of disaster when Rockets 120-98 beat them on-court.

Historical Highlights

  • On March twenty-seventh so far, something extraordinary has shown in the history of the NCAA. 
  • Long ago, that year of 1939, Oregon stunned fellow Buckeyes on their first attempt at the national basketball tournament.
  • Then as time went by, 1942 was registered. The title of world heavyweight champion was retained by Joe Louis when he knocked out Abe Simon in the sixth round at Madison Square Garden after staying prominent.
  • It was in the NCAA basketball championship of 1945 that Oklahoma A&M claimed victory over New York University, performing with (a 49-45 score).
  • Billy Spivey’s consecutive performance between 1951 and 1953 was a key highlight of Kentucky’s victory over Kansas State that allowed them to claim the NCAA basketball championship in 1951, winning with a score of 68-58.

Notable Achievements

In 1960, the Boston Celtics posted a points haul of 76 and beyond in the first half, which was a then-NBA Finals record that helped them to win the game by 147 against 123 St. Louis Hawks.

Larry Holmes went twelve rounds against Lucien Rodriguez, in Scranton, Pa on his home turf for the World heavyweight title he then defended.
Annika Sorenstam came first competing in the Nabisco Championship in 2005 with a 15-under score and winning by 8 shots claiming her 59th triumph on the LPGA Tour.
One of the longest outsiders led to jaw-dropping events in 2010 when Al Shemali stagged an upset in the $5 million Dubai Duty-Free, carrying away all the Dubai World Cup accolades astonishingly at odds of 40-1.

Enduring Dominance

  • The University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball team featured in the Final Four for a straight ten years in 2017 by defeating Oregon 90-52 with an imposing performance.
