On the short-lived Birch/Achiuwa experiment, Nurse said he didn’t really want to start that way but figured they’d try it with FVV out. “There’s just something not quite right about those 2 guys out there together. We’ve gotta get to work and figure that out, polish that up.” – 11:33 PM

HUGE win by the Raptors over Sixers tonight in Philly. The Brooklyn pick still stands at #16.
CLE (6th seed) remains four games up on BKN. TOR (7th seed) is three games up.
If tomorrow BKN loses to UTH and CHA beats NOP, Brooklyn and Charlotte will be tied for seeds 8/9. – 11:13 PM

The Sixers scored 37 points in the first quarter and managed just 51 the rest of the game. They lose to Toronto, 93-88. They are 43-27 on the season.
Got better on the glass after getting pummeled in the first half but that certainly qualifies in the bad loss category. – 11:02 PM

5 straight by Maxey, who is up to 17/3 on 7-12 shooting, and the Sixers have pulled back ahead 65-63 midway through 3rd, despite Raptors having 12 (!) more shots at the rim. Some of that is b/c of the FT diff (15-9 Sixers edge), but mostly b/c of offensive rebounding (16-4 TOR). – 10:04 PM
