Suns watch scoreboard, turn focus to Thunder

Mikal Bridges is doing more than scoreboard watching in the Orlando Bubble.

He's been cheering.

"I was talking to friends today, funny way, I'm a big Sixers fan today," the Philadelphia native said. "Rooting for them today. Kind of weird for me to say, but it looks like I'm rooting for them."

Bridges' hometown 76ers didn't come through for him and the Phoenix Suns, though.

Portland outlasted Philadelphia, 124-121, Sunday to stay in that coveted ninth place in the Western Conference and moved a full game ahead of the Suns.
