On this day, the basketball game was far from important.
The 76ers introduced Bryan Colangelo as their new president of basketball operations Sunday before their matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Wells Fargo Center.
At the conclusion of the first quarter, the Sixers honored Philly native and retiring NBA referee Joey Crawford. Allen Iverson was presented with an honorary resolution from the city at halftime. And the NCAA champion Villanova basketball team was presented with an honorary jersey and game ball.
While all that was going on, the Bucks escaped with a 109-108 overtime victory.
