Daily News | Sixers pull away from Pistons, 118-106, in regular-season finale, will face Toronto Raptors in playoffs’ first round | Analysis
Allen Iverson rose from his courtside seat during the break between the third and fourth quarters to toss T-shirts into the gleeful crowd seated in Wells Fargo Center’s Section 115.
And the victory ultimately had no impact on the Sixers’ playoff seeding. The Boston Celtics’ 139-110 romp over a Memphis Grizzlies team resting most of its key players Sunday locked the Sixers into fourth place in the standings and a matchup against a Toronto team that won the regular-season series 3-1.
“I pointed at [Iverson], for sure,” Reed said with a grin. “I had to make sure he knew what time it was.” “Hopefully, it gives me good rhythm going into the playoffs, because I feel like I’m going to be in that spot where you never really know what you’ll need and I’m going to be ready to provide whatever. For me, it’s just about being as prepared as possible and letting the chips fall where they may.”Without Embiid and Harden, the Sixers trotted out an unconventional starting group of Maxey, Thybulle, Danny Green, Tobias Harris, and DeAndre Jordan.
Then, a lineup of Milton, Thybulle, Reed, Isaiah Joe, and Furkan Korkmaz finished the job in the fourth. All of Sunday’s bench players finished with a plus/minus of at least plus-21. “You want to ask [the other] guys on the team what I’m talking about, they will confirm that. But you don’t see that. I do.”The Sixers have five or six days off until Game 1 against the Raptors while the NBA holds its play-in tournaments for the seventh and eighth seeds in both conferences.
