There are a lot of things you could have been doing with your Monday night other than watching three-quarter-speed basketball with zero stakes attached. You could have been walking through the city on a pleasant Indian summer night, or watching Patrick Mahomes throw left-handed passes, or replaying that video of the horse stampeding through a French bar.
If you chose to do one of these things instead of paying close attention to the Sixers-Magic game, do not despair. Over the next thousand words or so, plus some moving pictures, you will find it distilled down to its essence.
