NBA, the Sixers beat the magic in the play-in game 109-97.

Tyrese Maxie had 31.

Vijay Edgecombe had 19.

Here was his head coach, Nick Nurse, talking about Edgecombe's game and the way he played.

I thought some of the things he did with the ball was a little wild, but again, he played great in other aspects. So he really

impacted the game. And really, you know, again, the open floor take it to the front of the

rim and score, get fouled, and then all the rebounding and all the defense. And so then obviously

the reporters go to Edgecombe and they said, oh, your coach said you played kind of wild today. And he didn't disagree. I mean, I guess it happens when you let a kid playing such a high-intensity game. I mean, but I was out there having fun. You know, I was out of having fun. So if I got to play wild for us to win, I'll play wild. I think he's 19 or 20. Like, think about that for us. Could you imagine being 19 or 20 years old making four or five, I don't know what he makes, four, five, six million dollars as a rookie? No, I can't. I can't imagine any of this. Unbelievable. I really can't. Fair enough. So Philly will play Boston in the first round of the playoffs. The magic will

take on the Hornets tomorrow with the winner moving on to play the Pistons in that 1-8 series.

Le Mello Ball was not suspended, but he was fine, $35,000 for the swipe of Bam out of bio in Charlotte

the other night. The Warriors beat the Clippers

126-121. Steph Curry had 35, Christobbs Porzingis with 20. So it'll be Golden State

and Phoenix tomorrow night for that final spot in the West to see who will take on Oklahoma City.

L.A. was eliminated. Saturday night, the next take on the Hawks, here was Carl Anthony Towns as he scouts Atlanta.

I mean, they're a great team, and they're young and athletic, and they cause turnovers.

So, you know, we expected ourselves to needing to be the best. I've told you that all year,

and we just have to continue to use those 1% every game in the regular season to be the

team we want to be at this time and speaking of being the team they want to be jalen brunson was

discussing um you know the cohesiveness of this team heading into the postseason making sure we're

on the same page getting to know each other and um trying to click and um I think it's a time.

And obviously, we're in a world now,

everyone wants everything immediately.
