The Best Thing That Happened This Week
The Sixers won.
Philadelphia 76ers center Drew Gordon, left, forward JaKarr Sampson (9), forward Jerami Grant (39) and guard Hollis Thompson watch from the bench in the fourth quarter.
Shut up. Sure, it was ugly right from the start, when the teams lined up the wrong way. All those missed three-pointers. That second quarter! Again with the passes to the refs! But somehow they held it together, right up until the end. For almost a quarter of the Sixers’ roster — Nerlens Noel, K.J. McDaniels, Jerami Grant and JaKarr Sampson — it was the first NBA win they ever played in. And yeah, you don’t want to show it too much when you’re 1-and-17, but it felt good.
Plus they warded off that “All-Time Worst Start” tag. Whew.
Now get back to what you do best.
