76ers go with a 3-guard rotation and it seems it's gonna be a battle of 3pt frequency and makes.

Tucker is useless in a small ball lineup vs this kind of athletic team. Rivers is just clueless. It's also a shame that Morey only has Reed on this roster as the lone athletic big on the roster, because Harrell is useless, too.

Trez with a good offensive night (14 pts on 6 - 6 shooting), but only 2 rebounds (one right at the 3rd quarter buzzer) in 14 minutes.

Doc is being a stubborn fool by not playing Reed.

Doc goes to small ball lineup with Tucker and Pacers cut the lead to 4.

Fire Glenn

Serious coaching malpractice by Doc tonight. His refusal to play Reed nearly cost them the game. They are lucky to be going to OT.

Along with his excellent defense, Melton has hit some clutch treys this season.
