The Indiana Pacers are just barely clinging to the last spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs and needed a win to maintain their lead on the Bulls. Playing against the woeful 76ers, who might not even be the best basketball team in Philadelphia, should have been an easy win, right? RIGHT?
I mean, the 76ers are actively trying to lose. I’m not sure Nik Stauskas is in on the plan, though; otherwise he wouldn’t be throwing down vicious dunks like this one on rookie Myles Turner.
George Hill can’t believe what he just witnessed.
He’s not alone.
UPDATE: The Pacers did manage to win 115-102.
