In the Philadelphia 76ers’ narrow victory over the Indiana Pacers on November 30th, things got a little heated toward the end of the game. With Tony “Make Up Call” Brothers refereeing, there were bound to be a plethora of whistles. On top of that, the Pacers and Sixers are both big, physical, defensive squads. Tempers inevitably flared.
For the Pacers, the game reached it’s boiling point in the closing minutes. After the Sixers had gotten to the line at a high rate all game, the Pacers delighted to have a call go their way when Joel Embiid was whistled for a foul on Domantas Sabonis with 2:20 left in the contest.
