76ers, Nick Nurse livid amid controversial end to Clippers matchup
NY Post
Things got real testy at the end of Wednesday night’s Clippers-76ers matchup.
And Philadelphia was rather incensed, to say the least.
With 5.1 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter and Los Angeles up by one point, there was a jump ball and an ensuing tip-off at center court, and the 76ers had one last gasp to try to win the game — but they failed to get off a shot and fell, 108-107.
But a non-shot at the end was not exactly why Philadelphia was angry — it was why there was no shot that upset head coach Nick Nurse and his team.
After the 76ers controlled the tip, the ball was passed around and got to Kelly Oubre.
He eventually drove to the basket but appeared to be impeded by Paul George when the Clippers star left his feet trying to block the shot and his body made contact with Oubre while in the air.
Any and every NFL draft is replete with questions about needs and priorities and rankings and roster construction, with the status of the general manager and the head coach (are they secure or are they on the hot seat?) and the forecast for the franchise all weaving their way into the many potential scenarios.
