NBA professional basketball team season
The 2011β12 Philadelphia 76ers season was the seventy-third season of the franchise, sixty-third in the
National Basketball Association (NBA), and the forty-ninth in
Philadelphia .
Background
The Sixers finished the regular season with a 35β31 record, earning the eighth seed in the
Eastern Conference and a berth in the
2012 NBA Playoffs . Philadelphia faced the top-seeded
Chicago Bulls in the first round and won the series in six games. This marked the first time the Sixers won an NBA playoffs series since
2003 , when the team defeated the
New Orleans Hornets in six games in the First Round.
This was only the fifth time an eighth-seeded team beat a first-seeded team in the playoffs in league history, following the
Denver Nuggets in 1994, the
New York Knicks in 1999, the
Golden State Warriors in 2007, and the
Memphis Grizzlies in 2011.
The Sixers ended its postseason run after losing in seven games to the
Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. This marked the last time the Sixers made the playoffs until
2018 .

Many players signed with teams from other leagues due to the
2011 NBA lockout .
FIBA allows players under NBA contracts to sign and play for teams from other leagues if the contracts have opt-out clauses that allow the players to return to the NBA if the lockout ends.
[4] The
Chinese Basketball Association , however, only allows its clubs to sign foreign
free agents who could play for at least the entire season.
