PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jimmy Butler’s return to Philadelphia could be summed up in three letters: B-O-O.
Josh Richardson scored 32 points and the 76ers led from start to finish in a 113-86 victory over Butler and the Miami Heat on Saturday night.
Butler struggled to 11 points, missing nine of 13 field goal attempts. He sat out the entire fourth quarter.
The star guard couldn’t buy a basket — and the notoriously tough Philly fans relished every moment. They booed him loudly during introductions and every time he touched the ball in the first half.
They also cheered whenever he missed, and that was quite often.
