Ben Simmons fouled out for the first time all season. Dario Saric lasted 13 seconds before leaving with a chipped tooth and a lacerated lip.
What .... you don't want to focus on the negatives?
OK, fair enough.
The flip side of the coin was a giant heads up for the Philadelphia 76ers on the next-to-last night of the regular season as they defeated the Atlanta Hawks 121-113 Tuesday night to run their winning streak to 15 games. The third seed will not be locked up unless the Sixers defeat the Bucks on Wednesday night at home, so there is still some drama going into Game No.
