The Philadelphia 76ers' dreadful season has sunk to a new low.
Philadelphia fell to 0-8 after getting obliterated 123-70 by the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.
The 53-point margin of victory was a franchise-record for the Mavericks.
The 76ers franchise now has 5 50-point losses, the most by any team. No other franchise has more than 3.
