A couple botched possessions late doomed the Sixers to a 91-87 loss to Milwaukee. The pursuit of victory continues.
Still, Okafor dropping 21 on 9-of-13 shooting and playing 35 minutes--including competent crunch-time defense--is great news. As is Noel going into full-on elastic mode at times and ending up with 17 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. This is the shape of things to come, friends.
I recapped all three Sixers-Bucks games last year, and believe you me, all three were unwatchable detritus. The layers of mental gymnastics I had to go through to convince myself I was having fun watching them would confound modern psychiatry.
