There Was A STAGGERING Turn Of Events In The Play-In…

Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: heatcheck.info/
Nobody could have predicted a scenario where the home crowd is booing their own team in the middle of a crucial game like this.
And to be able to turn things around and come back from that is even more insane.
You knew that this was going to be a wild ride right from the beginning when Miami imposed their own playing style and made this a complete slugfest full of tough shots and turnovers.
And of course Miami came into this game with their famous zone defense that completely disrupted the offensive flow for Philadelphia, and at times the Sixers looked absolutely clueless on offense.
Everything seemed to be going according to the plan for the Heat, until a frightening moment took place, dropping the hearts of Miami fans.
Despite being in obvious pain, Butler once again displays the determination of a true warrior and continues playing as if nothing happened.
And Miami executes their plan to perfection forcing Philly into a 6 for 23 shooting in the second quarter. A horrific 26%. This allowed them to open up a twelve point lead at halftime despite shooting below average themselves.
With Maxey and Embiid at only 3 for 9 and 2 for 8 from the field, and the crowd booing their own team- things were looking grim for the Sixers.
And it went from bad to worse in the third quarter when…
But then, seemingly out of nowhere, unlikely heroes step up for Philly…
And then the crowd exploded because…
The role players completely turn this game around in the blink of an eye, led by Nick Batum who knocked down 3 threes in this period.
And now, with the crowd back on their side, and them getting back into the game, we’re in for a dog fight in the 4th quarter.
And with the defensive gameplan being centered around Joel Embiid, Philly needed the rest of the team to step up when it matters the most, and boy, Nick Batum continued to do that.
Unbelievable, Batum is saving the season for Philadelphia in the crucial moments of the game.
The Sixers now have all the momentum in the 4th quarter, but just when they thought that they were close to the win…
With Butler clearly being affected by the injury, Tyler went hero mode scoring 16 points in the 4th quarter single handedly keeping the Heat in this game.
And with the game tied up in the final minute, Miami’s smothering defense seemingly has the Sixers right where they want them, buuut….
Finally, Philly figures it out at the most important time of the game, giving them the lead at the end. But then, things really escalate because…
Wooow Nick Batum comes up huge once again to send the arena into a frenzy and give his team the opportunity to make this a 2 possession game.
As it turns out, this would seal the deal for Philadelphia as their clutch free throw shooting kept Miami at distance in the final seconds, and secured the win for them.
From boos to cheers, what a shocking turnaround as they now go to the playoffs against the Knicks, and Miami’s valiant effort falls short and they face off against the winner of Chicago and Atlanta.
And speaking of that, this do or die game started out as a back and forth battle until the final minutes of the first quarter when the Bulls decided to go ballistic and with a furious run.
The Bulls storm out to an 18 point lead in the first, but now comes the spectacle, as the Bulls shot 59% from the field in the second quarter and in any other game they would probably build onto their lead. Only thing is…
As shocking as it sounds, Atlanta outmatched Chicago’s shooting with a stunning 69 and a half percent as they seemingly couldn’t miss and cut the deficit all the way to 3
Despite Trae Young’s slow first half going 1-5 and 10 points, he made his presence felt and made great plays to find his teammates
Coming back from an 18 point deficit, you would think that the momentum is now on Atlanta’s side in the third. And it was a tight game until…
The Bulls go on another crazy run in the third quarter absolutely shutting down Atlanta, while shooting 65% from the field themselves. And they blow this game open when
So, coming down to the finish line, in front of their fans, all the Bulls have to do now is take care of business in the 4th
And Coby White definitely did that
He was unstoppable, scoring 14 points in the final period for a stunning 42, 9 and 6 for the game
The win was never in doubt in the final 12 minutes as Chicago knock out the Hawks and go for the final play in game against the Heat.
And with the latest news that Jimmy Butler would miss several weeks with an MCL injury, this is a golden opportunity for Chicago to advance to the playoffs for a matchup against the juggernaut Boston Celtics.
Admittedly, even if they make it there, this would be mission impossible for the Bulls, but still the playoffs would come as a reward for their persistence throughout the season and not giving up when they could clearly do that, especially after Zach Lavine announced that he’ll miss the rest of the season

Booing down 10 in the second quarter is nuts

[@terpnation]

Nah, it's Philly

[@user-jc3fs9uw3z]

The team was turning the ball over left and right. They couldn't break down a zone defense, they were horrible. You are darn right they got booed and they deserved it but when they deserve cheers.....There's no fans better. It's called a standard. Pay our hard earned money to watch them play like school girls. Are we supposed to give them a standing ovation? So many of you are just soft.

Bruh I'm 10 seconds in and apparently I have to teach you all the lore... Of Philadelphia fans. The ultimate black fubu energy of fans, a passion that can't be matched with a fire as intense as 1,000 sun's... and filled with yuengling beers and hoagies as their prime fuel. These are not humans, or creatures, they are machines that can either make you stronger than you've ever been or... kill you with the flick of a wrist. I'm a chiefs, royals and okc fan. I have no quarrels with Philadelphia fans, in fact, I owe them my gratitude. They gave us Andy Reid and with that came 3 rings. As far as I see it, the Philadelphia fans are my comrades. I do not agree all the time with the actions of Philly fans, but know this, I understand their nature and urge you to take caution when presenting yourself to them. They are quite a volatile people.
