6:10 - We get a 2nd foul on DeRozan who sits. We lead 13-11 in a very well played game so far. Both sides executing well without turnovers.

3:24 - Perkins picks up his 2nd foul. Noel to PF and Embiid back into the game. We lead 19-18.

At the end of 1, we are up 24-22. Very hard fought on both ends.

With 5 minutes to go, Cowen needs a break desperately. Turner and Clark into the game.

Once Cowen leaves, they go on a 10-0 run before Embiid scores to end the run.

At halftime, we are down 54-44.

Knight leads all scorers with 12 points and 6 assists. Randle leads them with 6 boards.

Embiid leads us with 10 points. Butler also with 10.

Every thing possible going wrong to start the 3rd... to illustrate. Knight throws an errant pass that deflects off my guy, off another guy, right into DeRozan's hands for a wide open jumper. We are down 68-50.

We are down 88-70 at the end of 3 and it looks dire. They are dominating inside and out.

We close the gap to 10 with 8:30 to go, but then Schayes hits a pair of post shots and DeRozan with a pair of 3's. Down 22 with 6 to go, I decide to rest my starters.

We lose the game 115-101. Tough loss in what could be a finals match-up.
