It’s not every day that your favorite team gets victimized by a “Swatterboy” who would make toothpicks feel a bit husky, but that’s exactly where many of us sit at this moment. The Philadelphia 76ers lost 110-103 to the Toronto Raptors last night, after their nine-point lead was incinerated by Chris Boucher late in the third quarter.
The 6-foot-9, 200-pound backup center hit not one, not two, not three (?), not four (???!!!), but FIVE STRAIGHT THREES over a five-minute span in the game. The Sixers were feeling good, up 82-73 in Tampa Bay, only to look up after 300 seconds of action and see that Toronto had tied the game of 89.
