The Raptors take a 1-13 record against Atlantic Division opponents into Sundays’ reunion with Kyle Lowry and Nick Nurse. That .076 winning percentage against the division is somehow not the worst in franchise history (2-26, .071 in 1997-98). Last divisional game is at Brooklyn. – 2:20 PM

Nick Nurse and Kelly Oubre each have been fined $50,000 for verbally going after the referees following a one-point loss to the Clippers (the officials admitted upon review they missed a call on the final play Oubre should have been awarded free throws and a chance to win it). – 12:21 PM

Yes the officials screwed up on the Kelly Oubre Jr. drive, but the #Sixers shouldn’t have been in that position to begin with. Tyrese Maxey sees lessons to learn from in the loss to the Clippers. sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/03/28/tyr… via @SixersWire – 11:14 AM

Everyone will remember that silly game in Philadelphia Wed. night for other reasons, but Tyronn Lue caught Nick Nurse slipping
Nurse made only one 4th quarter sub: Paul Reed out to match LAC small.
LAC: +8 in 4th vs no PHI center, most paint points (18) in 4th since Feb. 2 – 9:28 AM

ClutchPoints: “So Kelly Oubre doesn’t have a history of this type of thing right? If this is Draymond Green, the world blows up today… This is $25,000 per b*tch without a doubt.” Lou Williams on Oubre Jr. cursing out the refs last night 😆 (via @RunItBackFDTV) pic.twitter.com/qAkznvaFyf -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / March 28, 2024
The end of the game was certainly not. The Sixers were hot about successive and-1s that Kawhi Leonard got. The second, with 15.7 seconds remaining, gave the Clippers a 1-point lead. Then, Oubre drove the paint, hard, drew contact from George and got nothing. And verbally detonated. “We’re not perfect. The refs aren’t perfect,” Oubre said. “I want to apologize for just losing my cool because that’s something I work on each and every day, try to represent God in the best way I possibly can, and that wasn’t it. I just ask for forgiveness. -via The Athletic / March 28, 2024
“But I saw coach Nurse getting riled up. If our coach is going to fight for us and he’s going there, I’m right behind him. But at the end of the day, it wasn’t cool. So I’ll take whatever penalties come with that. We have to move on. But I have to be better, in a sense.” But Philly has bigger issues. The Sixers are now 10-17 since Embiid’s knee injury at the end of January. They’ve fallen to eighth place in the East. -via The Athletic / March 28, 2024
