Cowen playing amazing basketball down the stretch. He helps us build a 30-20 lead.

3:39 - GF goes down hard after a shot with a lower leg injury.. no contact but this doesn't look good at all..

At halftime, we are up 53-44.

We get some early news. GF with a significant knee injury. He will need an MRI to tell the full extent but he is definitely out for some significant time.

Embiid leads our team with 10 points and 9 boards at the half.

Cowen with 7 assists at the half.


3:10 - We lead 73-60 as I rest my starters except for Embiid who returns from an earlier rest.

At the end of 3, we are up 81-66.

7 minutes to go - They close the gap to 10. Our guards are tired. I ask Butler to give us some minutes. We also bring back a relatively rested Cowen.

Cowen and Butler work hard to re-build the lead to 15. I rest my starters the last 2 minutes.



We win 106-98.
