Has a singular loss completely derailed a franchise’s progress whether in the past or still facing repurcussions today?

It seems like an obvious answer from recent history is the 76ers getting beaten by the Hawks when Simmons passed up the dunk. I know he's been hurt, but... It seems like if he dunks it and the 76ers start rolling, he might not get stuck in a bad mental spot and the NBA might look a little different now (especially if he'd kept playing and stayed under the supervision of a training staff, then he doesn't get traded, etc...).
